On Wednesday, Sophie and I had her first tea party. We used a Strawberry Shortcake tea set that was just adorable. We invited all of the Groovy Girls and made hot tea and cinnamon toast. Sophie wouldn't even try the tea and opted for milk. She dressed up in a sweet dress that her friends Anna and Hope gave her, and really had fun drinking out of her teacup. I really enjoyed this special time with her and loved taking pictures!

Girl's Night Out - September 14, 2007
Last Friday was Girl's Night Out. Anna, Jeannie, Trisha, Lindsay and I met for dinner at Jason's Deli. After we finished eating, Trisha suggested we check out the Tuesday Morning store that's in the same shopping center. Then we headed to the movie at Westgate Mall (Lindsay went home to address wedding invitations) to see The Nanny Diaries. I know I speak for everyone when I say that it wasn't great. Or even good. In fact, it was sad. And we thought we were going to see a comedy! It didn't help that we received poor customer service at the concession stand. So, we have decided that great concessions are as equally important as the movie, therefore, bye bye Westgate Mall. Hello Spartan 16! And, I'm sorry to say that we didn't go to Barnes & Noble afterwards because Trisha and I were too tired. I think maybe it had to do with the rain!
Just for fun, I researched all of the previous Girl's Night Out adventures we have had so far. One thing is for certain. We have seen some really BAD movies!

Prayer Request - Update
Sophie's renal ultrasound last Friday came back normal (thank you, Lord!). She did great during the test, and we were really proud of her. She has been taking an antibiotic for almost 10 days now, so we will go back to the doctor for a follow-up urinalysis in a couple of weeks to make sure the infection is gone. We really appreciate everyone's prayers.

Prayer Request
If you are reading this, please pray for Sophie. She was diagnosed yesterday with a urinary tract infection, and from what I understand, this shouldn't be happening to a 3-year old. As a result, the doctor as ordered that she undergo a renal sonogram tomorrow to see if there is anything anatomically causing the infection. The pediatrician called today and said Sophie's infection is caused by E-coli and that is a good sign. Lord willing, everything will look normal tomorrow on the sonogram and this will only have been a precaution. I'll keep you posted.
The Trial
I have discovered a great new author - Robert Whitlow. I just finished reading, The Trial, and it was fabulous! Mr. Whitlow is an attorney who writes Christian legal thrillers set in the South. There were a few cheesy parts, but I really enjoyed it and it was very suspenseful. I can't wait to read The List!

First Day of School
This album is powered by BubbleShare - Add to my blog
She did it! Sophie started her first day of K-3 today and did great! She woke up early and said, "I'm going to school soon." I said, "You sure are." Even though I stopped this morning to take several pictures we still arrived on time (thank you, Lord!). She was very proud of her bag and really anxious to get to school. We prayed in the car and she said, "I have to listen, obey, and share at school." I said, "That's right, but don't forget to have fun." When I dropped her off in her class, I gave her a kiss goodbye and she was off to play. No problem.
Then I went to Target and spent two hours. It was really nice and relaxing! Brian called to check on me and I said I was being a big girl, but I did lay in bed for quite some time last night thinking and praying about today. After I left Target, I realized that Sophie was out on the playground right then, so I stalked her from the parking lot. Okay, stalking is a strong word, so let's just say I spied on her. I just wanted to see how she was doing! She was fine, of course, and was busy playing in the sandbox (gross). After about 15 minutes of undercover observing, I went to the library and read a magazine before I came back to pick her up. Loved it!
When she saw the van in the carpool line her eyes lit up. When I opened the door she said, "Hey Mama!" Once she got in the car she said, "I'm here!" After a little probing, I found out that she sat next to Cooper and had bumblebee cookies for snack, shared the baby dolls with Lucy, and called Daddy on the phone at school. She said, "Mama, we're going back to school again." I said, "You sure are."
So a good morning was had by all and tomorrow we get to do it all over again. I couldn't help myself and bought Sophie a Groovy Girl at Target (Vanessa) to celebrate this special day. And a Hello Kitty shirt. And maybe a puzzle. Hey, I was proud of her. You only start K-3 once in your life!
