So Long Preschool, Hello Kindergarten!

Since Elyza's birthday is in December, she has had 2 years of preschool. She has loved it and I have loved getting to teach her and her friends. Her class this year was a lot of fun. We had two friends from the ward and then two boys from a neighboring ward. It was a great group and we had a lot of fun.

Elyza will start kindergarten on Aug. 27 at the school right across the street from us. It is a really great school and we have only heard rave reviews from everyone who has kids there. She is so ready to start and is already counting down the days! I am excited for her, and also excited for her teacher since she is such a funny and smart little girl :) Though I am excited for her, right now I am most excited to go school shopping! I love getting new school supplies and school clothes!!

Cayte Louise Halverson (pronounced like Kate) 6 lbs 9 oz, 19.25 inches. This was the easiest delivery/recovery! She was born at 1:09pm, and by late that night I was up and moving around without any help at all. I never needed the big pain meds, just motrin. With the other two it was still hard to walk around or stand up straight even after I got home, but this time I was up and going with no pain at all! Peter was 7lbs 5oz and 20.5 inches and Lyza was 7lbs 6oz and 21.5 inches, so Cayte was super small to us!

Elyza was dying for her little sister to be here and now all she wants to do is hold her, check on her, feed her, etc. She is so cute and so in love with her little sister! Peter didn't really acknowledge her for the first week, and has just lately started paying a little attention to her. So far he has been very sweet and soft and instead of acting out from the lack of usual attention, he has actually become more cuddly and lovey which has been so sweet!

Auntie Lo Lo and PJ came to help out this week which was so nice! Thanks for coming Lo and PJ!

I love this little hat on her!

Elyza holds her at least 2-3 times a day. She wants to help with everything and has been great playing with Peter while I need to be with Cayte. She is a super great big sister!
