August

Well I just realized I haven't posted much this whole month! I guess I'm still getting into the swing of things with school getting started. School is going good for the whole family! Both the kids seem to really have a good time at day school and Ike and I have gotten off to great school years too!

This month I had to take Jacob for his 4 year check up. I sure was not prepared for that! I don't know if this is just how our peditrician does things of if this is standard but here's what happened. My mom and my aunt Nona (who Jacob thinks is another grandmother) met me with him in New Albany at Dr. Googe's office. I went to Dr. Googe's from school and when I got there Jacob was already sobbing. The nurse had already informed my mom that he was getting 5 shots and his finger pricked!!! I had no clue it would be involved of a check up. Of course my mom and aunt were just babying him to death so he was pitiful the whole time we were at the office. If it was just me and Jacob, I would have tried to change the subject and keep his mind off of the shots. But, my mom and Nona can't help it! He's thier baby! Once the shots were actully over with he was fine.

Davis Claire (wild thing) was also with us. She had a diaper rash that turned into staff infection! I know, gross! I took her to our family doctor in Tupelo before we could get to New Albany to see Dr. Googe, but I wanted him to check her out too! We absolutely love Dr. Googe! We need his reassurance for our sanity.

My brother and sister-in-law were expecting thier first child mid-October, but she's going to be here earlier than expected! Meri-Campbell will be here by this Wednesday at the latest! Kellie's water broke and so she is in the hospital on bed rest trying to buy a few more days for the baby! The doctors seem to think the baby will be okay, she just will probably go in the NICU for a few days to help with her breathing. Please keep Daniel, Kellie, and Meri-Campbell in your prayers! I can't wait to meet her!

That's about all that's been going on at the Gable house. I hope everyone has a Happy Labor Day!

Lots of Posts

I've posted a lot today, don't miss any!

The Kids





I'm happy to say that for the most part, my kids really do love each other. They love hugging on each other and I had the camera close by the other day. Davis Claire loves to brush her teeth too!

My Classroom



I've been working on making my classroom a little brighter for this school year. I made the curtains (and hung them by myself) and painted my podium and table. I've still got a little more work to do, but this made a big difference. I really am ready to get back to school! I like having a routine! If I can't be home with the kids, I'm ready to go ahead and get our routine down!

Back to School



Ike started back to school last Wednesday, but the other Gable's went back to school Friday, August 1st! Jacob is in Ms. Mona's class and Davis Claire is in Ms. Melody and Ms. Peggy's class! They both had a good first day!

A few birthday pics




Happy Birthday Jacob

Jacob got a BB gun from us!

And a Ben 10 Omnitrix and a wallet!
Spiderman came to his party!
And he loved his spiderman cake!

Jacob turned 4 on July 28th. He is such a big boy now. He told me he likes being 4 better than being 3! He is such a good boy and we just love him so very much!

My Wallet

Davis Claire loves going through my purse. Her favorite thing to do is take everything out of my wallet!

Davis Claire and laundry



We always find Davis Claire in the laundry basket! I'll be glad when she's big enough to help me fold the clothes! She really does try to help now. She will get an item out and wad it up like she's trying to do what I'm doing!
