Tile at Nordstom's

Back in the spring. Lauren had a chance to paint a tile that would eventually be installed in the kids department at the Nordstrom they were building here in Cincinnati. We were very excited about the opportunity and she had a ton of fun at the event. The artist that was coordinating the tiles found Roy and expressed that he thought Lauren had a lot of talent. That night she was even in a short clip that made the local news. The store opened the weekend of Sep. 26 and we took the kids to find the tile. It was a great early morning event with things for the kids, balloons and lots of food! We are very proud of you, Lauren!

First Day!

Here are a couple of quick pictures from before we Ava went to school! :)

Ava starts preschool!

Ava was SO ready to start preshool. It was such a great day. I took the day off from work so I could go with Roy to drop her off and pick her up. She goes from about 9:20 to 12:05. She loves her teachers and has friends already! It made a big difference that she met her teacher at the house and luckily at least one of the kids in her class is a member at the gym and they were buddies already. Ethan will be able to attend the same school next year and we are all looking forward to that but for now we are happy he gets to spend one on one time with Roy.
