September's Student of the Month

Emily is off to a great start this year! For being a hard worker and setting a good example to others in her class, she was named Student of the Month. We are so proud of her!

Claire started Pre-K!

Claire started pre-K class today. She liked the play-doh and playground time. It was fun to see friends from last year and be in the "big kid" class with Miss Cami and Miss Renee.

Emily is a First Grader!

Emily started 1st grade today. She likes her teacher, Mrs. Fosco, so far. Her math book is "HUGE!". The class got to go on a tour of the school and get their passports stamped. No more little kids!



At her desk - all ready to learn!

How Cute Are We?

We got some new professionsl portraits done. I think they came out pretty well. See for yourself!

Carpenteria

We had our 2nd annual trip to Carpenteria. The girls loved being able to ride bikes around the circle where our tent was. We spent plenty of time at the beach. Mommy modelled for our mermaid sculpture. Claire added eyes and mouth. Emily collected sea grass for the hair.

March Mommies at Disneyland

Arwen and family were visiting Disneyland and invited Wendy and us to join them.

Look Ma! No Tooth!

Since my camera is the old fashioned film type, I don't have instant access to my pictures like 99.9% of society. So sometimes our breaking news is a few weeks old...

On August 3, Emily came running into the kitchen holding a bloody thing in her hand and smiling a new smile. The tooth that had been wiggling for weeks had finally, with a little help from Daddy, come out! The tooth fairy visited our house for the first time that night bringing a note and 2 "Fairy Dollars" aka the new President Dollar coins. Her grown up tooth is coming in nicely already.
