A New Beginning

Liam started preschool this year at First Beginnings. It is located downtown near me at First Methodist Church. We both miss Sandra (Nana, to Liam), but I think the school setting is going to be great for Liam. He's already coming home every day talking more and more.


Here he is headed out to Day 1:



And Day 2 in the classroom:

He wears a hat every day :)


Week 1 went (surprisingly) super smooth. Week 2, Liam started to break down a little bit. He is SO tired from always being on point. He's easily going to bed earlier now, so I hope that helps. Liam is a great adapter, so I trust he'll work it out soon.

Just in time for us to move apartments this weekend and throw him for another loop...

New Friends

While I was in St. John, USVI enjoying this:




Leif took Liam to Nashville to visit old friends. While there, Liam made some fantastic new friends with the sons of one of Leif's BFFs.


Leif said that Liam took to these boys like no one else he's ever witnessed.



As if their friendship was MEANT TO BE!

Oh Yeah, Liam Turned Two in June


Before I can go any further on this blog, I must document that Liam turned the big 0-2 in June!!!





Celebration #1 was with the family at Shogun. Three out of five Lagersen Cousins were able to attend as well as Aunt Boo, Uncle Tom, Aunt Beezie, Uncle Chris, Aunt Erin, Uncle Nolan, and Aunt Carrie. Whew!




The Kids checking out the fish before dinner.







Group shot (Margaret looks funny because I'm holding her that way!)





Presents.





And blowing out the pineapple boat without candles after the staff sang Happy Birthday!




Celebration #2 was at the same park as last year. Even at 10:00 am the heat was unbearable!


Liam carrying his own balloons in the store.




And then packed in the car with them.



At the park:

Playing in the water,



Opening gifts,




And making a mess with chocolate covered fruit pops (it was too hot for cake!)



Happy birthday sweet child of mine!

(Next year the party is going to be inside...)
