Pre-School & Baby Justin

September 14th

Jayna recently helped organize a group of 5 parents who have kids Shaylin's age to do a pre-school co-op here in Maricopa. Shaylin was so excited for her first day of pre-school and had been anticipating it for quite a while. Shaylin has loved it so far and has so much fun learning new things and playing with her friends. We have even gone on a field trip to the local fire station and are planning to go on some more really fun field trips this year. There will be more posts to come on that, since we are so behind!

Here is Shaylin all ready for her first day, which was at our house so she actually didn't get to go anywhere. :0) It was kind of confusing for her. She loves to where her backpack and gets so excited to show everyone her school projects and work that she keeps in her folder inside her backpack.


We had to get a picture of Emmalyn with Shaylin on her first day also.


An action shot of the kids learning about the number 1 during circle time at the beginning of school. It was cute how they all ended up on their tummy's. They all have their own mats to sit on which makes it a little easier for them to stay in one spot. All the kids are actually doing better than we thought and do a great job listening.


Another picture before pre-school that had to be taken, because the girls were too cute. Yes, those are diapers on their stuffed animals. Shaylin actually puts them on and takes them off herself. We never even taught her, she just started doing it one day and does a really good job. We also caught her folding them up and throwing them away when she takes them off.

Our newest nephew has arrived! Justin Richard Baker was born around 2am on Sept. 15th. It had been an extremely rough pregnancy for Becca, who had gall stones AND pancreatitis while she was pregnant. So we were doubly glad that Justin was finally here and that she would finally be able to have her gall bladder out. Justin arrived three weeks early and everyone is happy and healthy. He is so adorable and definitely looks like a Baker. Congratulations to Becca and Andy!

Becca (she looks great for just having a baby!) and Andy with their newest addition...
