Off to school!!!

Well, today was Erek & Jakob's first official day of public school. They have attended a small Catholic school(215 kids total in the school, Kindergarten through 8th grade) since they entered kindergarten at age 5. Now they are going to a school with 850 7th & 8th graders. It is probably more traumatic for me. They asked last year if they could go to public school, and in unison we said "NO"! So this year, we decided (only if they asked), that we would let them. We thought it might be nice if they met some of the kids in the neighborhood that they would go to West with. So, much to my dismay, when they asked, we said they could try it. They were far more excited than they look in the picture. They didn't think they needed their picture taken this morning, but I did.

Memory Lane

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't
matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory
about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me,
I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

So... my last blog was in April... This one is in August... what do you expect from me? You should all know I'm a little slow by now! So, I'll give you the speed version of what has happened in the last few months.

We finished baseball season and our family all in the same month! Yeah (to baseball season being over), the last baby thing, maybe not. But, after a LONG and complicated pregnancy, on June 24th we got the prize that makes it all worth it - BURKELEY STELLA! She is the most amazing little gal. She has really blessed our home with her special little spirit. It took a lot to get her here, but it was SO worth it!!
