School Year 2011-2012

Well the first day of the 2nd year of school has come and gone already.  I have to say, it was rather easy and pleasant this year.  I love not being the new kid on the block.  You see, I think the first day of preschool last year was much more anxiety provoking for me than it could ever have been for Luke.  This year was easy peasy - I knew what to expect and more importantly Luke knew what to expect.  He walked in there like he owned the place - naturally.  He spotted his teacher, Mrs. Robinson right away and gave her a nice big hug, then we walked in his classroom and immediately got back to work as if he had left off just yesterday.  He didn't even wait for me to say, "Bye Luke, have fun!"  Before I had the chance he said, "Bye mom, I'm having fun!"  

Little A went along with us and she also walked in there like she owned the place.  She wanted to pull things off the shelves and play with the big kids. So below are pictures of both kids on Luke's first day of school!

Puerto Rico

Ah, R&R in PR!  We snuck off for three fabulous days to Puerto Rico last weekend and the trip couldn't have been any better.  Great weather, great hotel, great drinks, sleeping through the night, sleeping in, eating a leisurely pace - we had it all!  We mainly did two things: hangout at the pool and one trip into Old San Juan.  We did a lot of hanging out at the pool with lots of adult bevvies.

The kidlets went on vacation to Mimi's and were entertained by the likes of Aunt Emily, Uncle Tommy, Karis and all the usual suspects who pass through the revolving door at my mom's house.   They were worn out when they got home to say the least.  I even got the cold shoulder, I'm mad at you routine from the little miss.  ha!  She got over that in about 15 minutes when she realized her favorite food source was back.  Luke had a lot of stories to tell - we're still hearing new ones 5 days later.

Great trip...can't wait for the next one!
