My mom and I redid her bedroom at my brother's house for her birthday---she loved it! It turned out so stinkin adorable. This coming weekend Brielle is doing a slumber party for Harper at Emily's house so she's looking forward to partying again :-) It was nice because although John and Emily aren't together anymore they still had a joint party for both sides and Harper got to see all her favorite people and have a great day. WE LOVE YOU HARPER!

Are few more pics from yesterday...

Brielle's first day of preschool! And bonus fall photoshoot

Brielle has been in daycare for a couple weeks now, but today was her first day of preschool! The preschool program is at the daycare, but kids who *aren't* in the daycare also come to the preschool program. Brielle gets to do preschool 4 days a week since she goes there, but other kids sign up for either M/W or T/TH class. Guess she'll be extra smart now! ;-)

She was excited to do her first day of school photos!



And Raya at the same age


She has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen! <3




And a picture her teacher sent me


Brielle has been doing awesome at daycare this week...she has a couple teachers she just LOVES and they love her. I think she is eating up all the attention she gets and she always is excited to tell me about her day.

Tonight she had her first ballet of the season---cousin Harper is doing it with her this year!


On Monday Raya started tap class and soccer....she's having fun!


And lastly, we had the chance to model in exchange for free skirts recently, so here are the girls rockin their photoshoot hehe. I don't have the time to do this often, but it was fun to do a little "modeling" once!
