A Day at the Fire Station

We went on a field trip for Maya's preschool to the Mapleton Fire Station the other day. Fireman Darryl told us that if we were on fire, we needed to stop, drop, and roll, and if we were in a building that was on fire, we needed to get out and stay out- said while patting our hands on our knees- get out, stay out, get out, stay out.
All of the children got a turn trying on the fire suits, including the boots and hat. After they all had a turn trying on the uniform, he took us for a ride in the fire engine around the block. He blew the horn and sounded the siren. The kids LOVE it and because they were SO good, they each got their very own fire hat.

The Year's First's

So while Maya is at preschool, I thought I would post a few entries-I am a little behind. My little

shadow and best girlfriend, Maya, has started school, dance, soccer, and music class this year. Needless to say we have been quite busy running her around to all of her activities, but she loves each and every one of them and I love to watch her engage with others, grow, and develop.

It is amazing to see how much she has grown. I can't believe that she will be five in a few short months.

First day of school. The color of the day was red.

Oh my goodness. Where has the time gone? I can't believe that we are already starting a new year! I am sorry about being MIA for the last several months. I have been getting to know my toilet, garbage cans, sinks, plants out front, sides of roads, and anywhere else you may imagine that one could throw up. YES....the day has finally come and our little girl is going to be a big sister. I am now 24 weeks and we are having a boy. We are not exactly sure what to do, but I have faith that we will figure it out. He is an active and healthy little guy, and we are excited to have him here- I am not a HUGE fan of being pregnant. :)
