Random updates on a Monday

1. Ellie Loo lost her 1st tooth on 2/20/18!! She has been working on this tooth for months. Her teacher texted me the below photo and said that she’s gotten a starburst for getting a perfect score on her spelling checkup. While chewing her starburst she felt something hard and realized she was chewing on her tooth. She was so excited!!


2. We got the 1st smiles about a week and a half ago. He is so precious!



3. William does not appreciate it if you put him down to nap. He wakes up fussing within 5 minutes. My mom recently suggested I get one of the things that allows me to wear him so I can still get some things done. It’s been a game changer. We both love it!



4. This ball has been with us through all 3 infant stages. It soothes McAllister babies well. 



5. Have you ever seen such cuties? I rarely buy school pictures but these got me with the cute names. I love this memory of their precious handwriting.

6. These sweet little girls went to the daddy daughter dance with their amazing daddy a few weeks ago. This was Ella’s 1st dance and they all had a blast.











7. Neal surprised me with a fun night out with friends and a short trip to Eureka for dinner. None of the girls knew it was happening and we all had a blast. He even had car snacks and drinks for the ride. William had his 1st babysitting experience with his sisters included and Nicole did a great job.





8. This funny dog thinks he belongs on my lap with the baby at all times. He’s lucky we love him so much!




9. Look at the size of the booger I fished out of his nose. He seems concerned.


 
10. Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Neal spoiled as as usual with Valanica. Ella’s class made their boxesbin class but look at how cute this sheep loving girls box is! She did most of it by herself with a little help from me. We love it! 💜



11.Ella just finished her 1st season of basketball. She loved it and had some fun friends she played with. She’s on to soccer now and, while soccer isn’t always my favorite, I’m having so much fun watching her and she’s pretty amazing at it. 💛



12. Reese and I have been keeping a “mommy & me” journal for about a year at the suggestion of her 1st grade teacher. She suggested this not only bc it’s a sweet idea but helps with her writing skills. It’s a way for her to write & enjoy doing it. My favorite part is that it allows me to see more into her super sweet heart. I found this one at the end of a day I was at my wits end with her and it was just what I needed.
