The Mighty M Family

Since I last blogged, We celebrated Easter We spent a weekend at the beach (Manzanita) We watched someone go to prom... and graduate. We had a last day of school We celebrated Independence Day We went to California, including a day at Lego Land. We (he) lost a tooth We went wine tasting We saw a concert We drove to Pullman We enjoyed our summer of camps and swimming We sent someone off to college We had a first day of school (Grade 3 and 1) We started fall soccer and watched the leaves change color We went to Vegas and bought new hats We had a visit from my dad and step-mom We lost more teeth We bought a candle because someone is turning 9 on the 18th  We got ready for Halloween What have you been up to? 

The first week of school went by without too many hitches. The kids both like school.  They enjoy their day.  They just have a really hard time saying goodbye to mommy.  I took these pictures last Tuesday – which was Hannah’s second day of school and Eli’s first day of preschool.  Eli is not as into posing for pictures as Hannah.  So I didn’t get too many and he insisted on including the shovel in the picture.

Hannah was ready to rock and roll this morning – did all her morning tasks and was pretty much ready to go about an hour before we needed to leave (how long is that going to last?).    Eli was ready and willing to smile too! Not so sure he will be tomorrow (on HIS first day of preschool).  She was a little nervous when it was time for us to leave….but I am hoping she quickly realized how much fun she is going to have! It is hard to believe she is in Kindergarten.  It seems like yesterday that she looked like this: And NO I didn’t cry……but I can’t get this song out of my head! Watch out Kindergarten – here comes Hannah!
