Yes, I know. I've posted a picture of my old phone. Yes, unfortunately, this iphone 4 became "old."  I had it for 2 1/2 wonderful years, all the while refusing to download ios 7 b/c I had heard of how much slower it made a 4.  You may think, I just don't like change. I think it's more that I don't like un-necessary change!  And ios 6 was so beautiful! I loved the way it looked. Sure there's a few perks to upgrading to 7 or 8, but...sigh....I just loved it. I do like my new iphone 5. It's faster definitely.  It has some new cool features. I'm not in love with the new colors.  Bright neon texts with white writing are not my thing. So here is one last tribute to English's iPhone.  

Beginning of 2nd Grade!

Zachary has begun 2nd Grade! It's so amazing that we have a 7 yr old already.  It's even stranger because my mother has taught 2nd grade for years and to think that my son has reached the grade she taught is unbelievable! Trying to enjoy every moment! I love my little, growing buddy!

First day of 2nd grade

Walking to school

Met some friends along the way!

It's always fun to start the first day of school with friends. 

This is where we wait in the mornings. We get to read or practice math.

Check Ups

Check Ups, from an Adelyn Perspective

Check Ups are not the most fun thing in the world to do.  When I was 3, I was NOT happy about getting check ups. I definitely did not like the dentist that year. That big chair thing looked very big and scary.  This year, however, I'm 4 and I was very brave.  I went to the doctor for my check up and got my shots and the next day I went to the dentist and was very compliant! Her office is cool because for our x-rays we get to sit in a horse saddle, while we wait for our turn we get to play with toys in the check up room, and THEN we get to watch TV ON THE CEILING!! Since I was so brave, I got ice cream after on BOTH days. 

Mommy also found some cool books called "Elf Help" books. It's stories about elves who have to handle many situations.  I have one called Feeling Bad, Getting Better and it helped me understand more about going to the doctor, getting checkups, and why it's important to go. We also love Berenstain Bears. 

This is me getting my hearing test! I hear VERY well.  

Zachary is having his turn at the dentist watching the Lego Movie

I'm waiting my turn here in the check up room!

My turn now. Zachary gets to play. This is not my favorite movie but it's still cool!
