Kylie's First Day of Pre-K (Take Two)

Kylie started the school year today with her teacher Ms Grace.  Kylie had Ms Grace last year and we are blessed to have her again.  Kylie misses the cut off for kindergarten by three weeks, which to us is a blessing as this gives her another year to get used to her cochlear implant as well as develop more speech and language.  

Kylie was super happy when she came home and even told us about her day.  (This is new for Kylie)  She told us that Ms Grace showed everyone in her class her princess ear and she told them she has a purple one and a white one.  Brian and I were shocked and it is just further proof that she is picking up everything like a sponge and we are so excited about what this year will bring.  Kylie also got a note that she had a great day and made some new friends today.

Here are a few shots for those Grandma's and Po Po's out there that are waiting to see the first day pictures!

Is it already August?

Where did the time go?  In a few weeks Kylie will be heading back to school and I am still waiting to go on a full summer vacation.  We have had a lot of fun this summer and truly enjoying every minute.  Kylie's hearing and speech is improving rapidly and we are just having so much fun.  Here are some things we have been up to in the last month..

Kylie went horseback riding at a local park.  Kylie thought it was great but wanted to go faster

We went to the movies with friends

Had a Sunday Fun Day with friends

We attended a friends birthday party and had a blast with so many new things to try

We had a mini vacation over in Marco Island.  We fell in love with the island the people and the laid back relaxed style.  Our hotel was awesome and a bonus was our hotel gave us Popsicles by the pool each day and frozen washcloths to keep us cool!  

Don't we look relaxed?

 We are all resting.. Kylie is hiding under the blanket.  No more pictures Grandma

 The turtle she made by the pool.  What a fun hotel! 

It's morning and she is enjoying the sunrise on our balcony

 
Off to the beach

 Sitting on the sandbar 

 My favorite pictures.  Grandma, I am going to use my water gun to put sand in your hair.  Hysterical! 

 

Brian was there too.. He had to do some work!

 

 No time would be complete without resting for a few seconds.  Kylie and Mac are good at that

We hope you are having a fun summer too!
