Back to School

Every year when school started, I vividly remember my dad would always say, "I can't believe my little girl is going to be in ___ grade." Every year, without fail, he said this. And now here I am saying, I can't believe my little boy is in the 3rd grade already! Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday that I dropped you off for your first day of preschool. You cried and cried. Now you can't wait to get away from me!

You were very excited to get back to school and see all your friends. You are a little disappointed because this year is a big year of change. There are fewer recesses and more work. But there will also be lots of fun things to look forward to like an overnight camping trip, building, cooking and gardening. I hope you have a great year!

I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing again next year when you are going off to 4th grade and again the year after that and on and on until you have kids of your own...

Home Sweet Home

We just got home a few days ago from a fabulous vacation in Florida! You loved the beach. Nana and Gramps came down for a few days and you helped Gramps make some spectacular sand castles.





You also got to drive a go-cart and ride on a jet-ski – both of which you loved!






We had a great time jumping over the waves and searching for shells. You look like a little surfer with your tan and sun-bleached hair!





The hotel played a different movie each night by the pool ("Dive-in Movies) that you and Sadie watched from our balcony. One night, you both went to "Kids' Night Out" where you got to eat pizza and watch a movie. You had a great time!
