We had our first slumber party! What fun it was. We made a music video, had a pillow fight, ate pizza, watched a movie with popcorn, and danced! Matthew even boogied a bit! :) In the midst of it all, Sophie looked up at me and said, "Mom, this is the best day ever!" There is something so wonderful about seeing pure joy and bliss in your children. It brought back memories of slumber parties I have had. Anyways, here is a picture of all the girls in their pajamas!

I thought it would be nice to see our smiling faces instead of the children all of the time! :) We were at a wedding, actually, Matthew was performing the wedding of Sharon Hethcock (for those of you that know her). It was fun and a great wedding and reception. And the pastor was mighty fine, if I do say so myself! :)

Big day for the Schlesinger's! We had our first day of school this last Thursday. Yep, Sophie is an official kindergardner! (sp?) The whole family walked her to school (we only live one block from school, we can see it our our front door), and took her in. She was very excited the entire walk up until about 10 feet from the classroom door she got a look of fright and said, "Mommy, I don't want to go to school!" Well, since I am not an enabling mom :) I walked her into class and we found her seat and after about 30 seconds, she was back to normal and doing fine without me. The only problem was, I wasn't quite ready for her to be "fine without me". So I lingered in her room for a few moments, just like the rest of the parents who awkwardly stood around taking pictures of their child and wiping tears away from there eyes so that their child didn't see. So, then there was nothing else for me to do but leave. What a weird feeling. I don't know if there is anything that can prepare a mother for this day. Maybe daycare or preschool, which I haven't done either, so to leave my daughter for 2 hours and 40 minutes in a school with a great teacher, but someone I hardly know, was a bit tramatic....for me...not for Sophie. When I picked her up from school, she was exstatic and told me just how much she LOVED school and that she wanted to go back. Her main complaint was that the bathrooms did not look like Red Robin's bathrooms, that is, they didn't look cool and have "silver" all around. So now we begin our 17+ years that we will be in the school system. I am looking forward to it really. I don't get to be in "the world" all that much working at the church and being a full-time mom on top of that, so this will be my outlet to impact those around me with the Christ in me! :)

Well, look who got engaged this last week!!! Corrina and Aaron got engaged this last Thursday evening and then came down to Roseburg for the weekend. We had a great time! We went to Wildlife Safari, which was an experience all its own!, we went out on the boat and attempted to wake board...notice the word "attempt", and just had a lot of time to just hang out with them. I am thrilled to have Aaron as a brother-in-law. He is great with Corrina, and my girls LOVE him, which is important to me. So, congratulations Corrina and Aaron. We love you and are excited for this new chapter in your life!
