New Beginnings.....




Our little daughter's first day of Kindergarten was today!


The bus stop is just down the street.

After much anticipation, she was thrilled the big day had finally arrived. She was more than ready to start her academic career and happily hopped onto the bus this morning.



Her day was filled with fun and exciting new activities. She can't get enough. When she got home, around three this afternoon, she realized it wasn't dinner time yet. She then asked if she could go back to school. I said, "Sure you can, honey, tomorrow."

"But Mom, why am I home already, you said I was going to stay ALL DAY!"

At the end of the day, we were all overjoyed to have her home, especially this one...

It amazes me how time flies!! H looks so confident and excited going off on her big adventure, I love it! That is terrific that she rode the bus on the first day as well. I love how happy Z was to see her after the day apart. How did Mom and Dad do? I hope well. I am a sap and I cried and cried when we left Max. We will have to discuss our parallel lives soon. What a new experience! It was just yesterday we were sitting in the birthing class waiting for these bundles to arrive- where in the heck did all the time go? Hugs and kisses to all! We hope H has a great week.

Dejavu strikes again! I feel like I lived these scenes before. It is wonderful to see such a confident and happy young lady head off to the beginning of her school career. The photos and the comments echo my memories of threee other little girls heading off to K. I'm lucky to get to share these times with my lovely granddaughters.

I'm so happy to see the photos. It was wonderful to hear the excitement about her first day of school when we talked on the phone. H looks so "ready" and confident as she gets on the bus. I look forward to hearing more of her experiences and just know that she is off to a great start. I am so proud of her!

Spring break whirlwind!

I am sorry that I haven't posted this week. Diesel, I am so glad you figured out how to leave comments- we commented back on some of them! It was good to hear from you. I will try and do a catch up and post and then try to post more regularly next week...when time slows down, again. Nanny, I hope you made it home okay. The little engines were asking about you all day. We went over how you will be back, several times. I think they get it : ) Of all the weeks we have had here in Italy, I can honestly say, none of them have gone fast- except this past week. We drove Nanny to the airport this morning and it seems like we were just there to pick her up! This time, we went the right direction and it took much less time, fancy that. (You would think that with a map and a car we would be okay, but it is seriously difficult to get around here. You have to know several towns past your destination town that might be marked on the signs and then might not be. For example, you want to go to Ven

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!
