First Day of School

2009-2010 School year has now begun. D-D is going to a half day Mother's Day Out/pre-school two days a week. Her first day was Monday. She woke up right after 6 am, she was so excited!


~~~~~~~~~~
MG and E had their first day of school the following day: Tuesday, August 11. They were not as excited as D-D, but still glad to see their friends.

Getting out of the van
and walking in
with their new 'do-s,
new shirts, and
new backpacks.

YIKES!

E's Birthday Day

E's Golden Birthday: he turned 7 on August 7th. We had a small party and enjoyed the ease and simplicity of it. E also told me how he wanted his cake this year. It is very similar to one I made for him when he was two or three.
E is getting kisses from his sister while he waits for his gifts. D was in charge of wrapping, so he "wrapped" E instead and had E guess what his presents were. This tickled the 7 yo boy---and his siblings!!
