Thanking Jaja for the gifts :)

Last night as a 2 year old!

 Day of birthday gift: a big boy bike!!!

 Months before his birthday, I asked Hank what he was hoping to get for his birthday. To my surprise, he told me "A tiny little chainsaw to cut branches". Well, look what he got! He was so excited! His other request, "Superpowers". That was even tougher. This boy's requests aren't easily fulfilled.

Back To School

Somehow, sometime, our tiny baby girl Eleanor grew up and is now a 2nd grader. And also amazing, our little Carolyn became a Kindergartener. Eleanor is excited to be in Mr. Millers class this year, while Carolyn has Mrs. Calvillo who she hopes she loves as much as Miss Fuller last year.

I'm keeping my hours at work which will allow the girls to walk home after school. And when I saw walk home, I mean, by themselves. Like big girls. They're excited. I'm excited. Everyone's excited!

At the bus stop with AJ, Eleanor, Carolyn, and Hunter

Look who is sick on his sister's first day of school. Was he really sick or just missing sissies?

  Look who we spy walking home from school!
