We survived! Or should I say I survived!

Well, the first day of kindergarten went off without a hitch! I made sure Maddie's lunch was all packed the night before so that we would be all ready to head out to school in the morning. She did awesome! She felt like such a big girl going to a big school with her brand new back pack! She just waved "bye bye Mommy and Daddy" and off she went! No tears at all! Although I can't say the same for myself! Now that I'm on the other end of it I can now understand how all those parents felt dropping their kids off for the first time....it's not easy! Fortunately my mom met me for breakfast to comfort me. =)

Madeline had a "fabulous" first day of school (in her words). She even got to pick something out of the treasure chest because she didn't call out and raised her hand when she had something to say. I'm so proud! Let's hope she keeps it up. I also recognized a few kids from the gym I go to so it was really nice to see some familiar faces in her class. I think this is going to be a great year for her!

My baby is off to Kindergarten!

It was a bit of a rough day today attending Maddie's Kindergarten orientation and finding out we did not get the teacher we requested. Fortunately all has been worked out...we still didn't get the requested teacher but at least we are out of the class we did not want to be in. So tomorrow is the BIG day and hopefully the rest of the year will be a positive one! I'll update the blog with First day of school pictures and let you know how it went. Hopefully there won't be too many tears shed (by me!).

I can't even get over the fact that summer is almost over! We've had so much fun! Between swimming lessons, vacation bible school, playdates and sleepovers with cousins and friends, and trips to San Diego and Palm Springs, we've been quite busy! As much fun as we've had, Madeline is so excited to start kindergarten which is just 12 short days away! We've already purchased her "Camp Rock" backpack and lunch box and brand new shoes! Hopefully I'll get the hang of this blog so I can update everyone regularly.

Kathryn is just a little cutie! She's almost 7 months and is now sitting up and gets up on all four's and rocks back and forth. It won't be long till she starts crawling! I just can't believe it! Seems like she was just born yesterday!

Isabella is our little ham. She loves posing for pictures and is into everything. She has been so successful with the potty training and is just about done! Alot has happened over the summer and we are just so proud of our girls!

Happy 4th of July!
