Goodbye Lucas County- Hello Wood!

Now that we no longer live in Lucas County (we closed on our old house), we had to say goodbye to all of the wonderful people who helped us in Help Me Grow- including our Thursday Playgroup friends. It was a sad thing to do as we had been involved with the program since Elise was first learning to sit. They offered so much support and education when we needed it the most- especially in those early days when we needed the help and intervention. They were apart of our extended family.

Unfortunately with a move to Wood County, we no longer will be able have their help (it's a tax thing). Instead, Elise has been transferred to our new county where their Help Me Grow program will help us navigate our way into preschool (Wow! A year away!). We met our new facilitator/early intervention specialist RN today. Lisa is wonderful and now will become our new advocate and friend. Elise thought she was great too!

Last day of Playgroup- Deb (early intervention specialist), Donise (early intervention specialist) and Mickey (speech therapist).
Elise also got a black eye-- although it isn't very noticeable in this picture. As Jeff likes to say, 'When Elise runs, she likes to see where she's been'. This means that when she was running one evening, looking backwards, she ran smack into a table. Thanks again for the support Boo-Boo Bunny!

So, how did you spend Winnie-the-Pooh's 90th birthday? At a party? The Perrysburg library had an all-day long birthday party--- complete with cake. We also colored birthday cards, wore party hats and made a Pooh puppet. Today after nap, I caught Elise singing Happy Birthday to Winne from her crib. So sweet...

Just to round out August, I thought I would throw in a few fun pictures. Afterall, life isn't always serious nor are we....Why does Elise only love pajamas with frogs on them? I guess if you look good wearing a nightgown, then just stand and admire yourself in the mirror!
These two crazy kids took a few zillion matching face pictures. This is my favorite though...
Not sure why this was outside the ice cream store but it was. How big does your head have to be to actually fill up that hole?!
Who says Elise has short hair? Looks long to me. You'll see this picture again at her high school graduation party.

Oh Boppy. We have to close with you. You are Elise's best friend, afterall. We only wish she would let you take a bath more often! Every other day isn't cutting it!
