What a night for the Howles!
After spending last night in Labor & Delivery (just really bad pain & pressure, no pre-term labor yet, thank heavens) the last thing I really felt up to doing was going to Open House at Coppergate. I know, Bad Mommy. But there was no way I was going to disappoint my little girl, so we pawned Grady off on my mom and headed to school.
As usual, we had a wonderful time. I have been in Emma’s classroom a few times, but this was Jake’s first visit and she wanted to show him everything. It was so cute to watch her with him – she is the best big sister!
She is having a super year in school, I think it has a lot do with how much she loves her teacher Mrs. Taylor and her friends.
After we visited her classroom we had to fight the throngs of people to get to the cafeteria where were treated to a little patriotic concert. I am glad so many parents attended, but I almost passed out in the hallway. No problems, though – Emma made it well worth the crushing as once again our girl overcame her stage fright. We can’t be more proud of her!
Jake was also a source of pride tonight. This was the first time we have taken Jakers to an “unfamiliar” place without a stroller. He was such a big boy and behaved so well! He loved watching his big sister perform as much as we did:
I am so proud of both my “big” babies – I can’t believe how much they have accomplished in just the last couple of months.

I didn't know that you had been in the hospital! Girl, you need to stop doing so much. If you need help with anything, you need to let me know.
Last night was CRAZY! Were there that many people at the open house last year? Or did everyone show up this year because of the whole performace thing? It was fun, even if it was hot and crowded!
Take it easy and please please please let me know if you need any help. I am pretty good at cleaning, taking care of kids, cooking, just whatever you need!
