A bone!!!

Dillon walks into our "office", holding a half-eaten apple.

"Dillon, you need to eat the whole apple" (we have a "you bite-you finish" rule)
"There is a bone!"

Ha, Ha, Ha!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

My Little helper!!

Dillon: "Mommy, these are mine, I am going to put them in my drawer."
**He found the pile of his clean, folded laundry that I had left on the couch and decided that he would put it away!! What a great helper!! =) =)

A great day!!

Anna loved kindergarten!! She loved making a "rules" book, coloring her clifford page, and playing on the playground. She was very excited about her special box with her crayons and a "cute little eraser". =) =) She said her favorite part was seeing "Miss Tina", our neighbor that works at the school. Now, to teach her her to call "Miss Tina" "Mrs. LaCarra"... She is so excited about everything!! She even wants us to call her our "kindergarten girl"!! =) =) Praise God for a happy first day!!!

Here is Anna standing in line, waiting to be released!!! Ahh... they all seem so grown up!!!

And Again I say, Rejoice!!!

Anna went to kindergarten today!!! Yay!!! She was great, so brave, so excited. We love her teacher, Mrs. Williams.

I have heard great things about her, and she has lived up to those great things. She was great with Anna, so welcoming and friendly, and really showed an interest in getting to know me too... very easy to talk to. Her classroom is beautiful and fun. A good balance between academic and fun. I can't wait to hear Anna tell all about her first day!!!
The PTA had a nice breakfast and I was able to meet a few moms... what fun!! I love that we are getting to know families in our community!!

Dillon was a little sad, but I know he will love the time we will get to spend together. He is so cute... if you ask him how old he is, he will tell you "five", because he wants to go to kindergarten too!!! =) =) When pressed further... "Dillon, how old are you?" he will say, "I am not three, I am five!" =) =)

Rejoice!!

What a great week!! We went hiking at Chantry Flats... pictures later..., lunch with friends at Seal Beach, cleaned the house, went to California Adventure, I had breakfast with my girlfriends, and we had friends over for dinner!!! Such great times with friends, thanks God!!! It was so nice to celebrate the official end of summer by going to some favorite places and seeing favorite friends. Rejoice with me!!!
