Fun in the Sun

In September we went to Lagoon with some friends- the kids have a blast. Caleb is still talking about riding the garden snake (the kiddie dragon roller coaster) and they both want to go back and ride all of the fun things. At first Emily was really hesitant to get on any rides- but by the end of the day she was taking herself to each different ride. Caleb enjoyed all of the rides- but didn't really show it on his face...just wanted to go again and again.

First Day Of School

Today was Emily's First day of School, She was very excited to ride the bus. I can't believe my little girl is in Kindergarten.

Caleb- This is the saddest picture I have seen in a while. He was so sad when the bus pulled away he started to cry- which of course made me a little teary eyed. He then decided we would just wait there until Sister came back. What a sweet boy!

When the bus arrived and Emily got off at the Stop she was so excited, She ran up to me and said, "Mom this was the best day of my life!!!!"

Our New Place

Well we have gotten ourselves all moved- Thanks to Mom & Dad for helping us get everything down here- and for helping us haul it up the stairs...I swear never again will I live on the top floor :D
My friend Brigid came over on Monday night and organized my Kitchen- She is wonderful- so we can actually eat at the table- Also allowed me to work on the front room and the kids' rooms. She brought over her little girl so all three had a great time.

Here are some pics of our new apartment- well at least the front room and kitchen- the rest is still in progress!!
