All About Sara

Seeing how I am a bit behind, I thought I'd do a recap a few things we did this summer...staring Sara

Back in March, Sara turned 3 and I took her to have her pictures taken.

Isn't she fun in front of the camera

We welcomed a new member into our family and Sara took a liking to him immediately

Poor Buster never had a chance

The biggest amazement of the summer...Sara taught herself how to swim. She started out with a life vest back in April, but by the time RJ's birthday rolled around (June) she was swimming from one end of the pool to the other unassisted.

But she never ceases to amaze me...she loves to be a girl and dress up. She was so happy to get a pair of Hello Kitty sunglasses that she wore them all day even in the house.

I really enjoyed spending time with Sara this summer. I am already looking forward to Fall Break in October. It will just be the two of us as RJ will be in school that week. We will have a lot of fun.

RJ's First Day of First Grade

After much excitement, RJ finally got to start 1st grade at his new school!!!


We all decided it would be best if RJ attended his neighborhood school so we registered him there. He was so excited to be able to go to school on the first day and be able to know some kids. There are 5 grade school kids on our street (none in the same grade) and they have been playing together all summer long.

Here is RJ outside his new classroom

Here he is at his new desk.

We are certain that he is going to have a great year! He spent his first week cooking! He was so excited to come home and tell us what he made in class.

Hope everyone else has a great school year too!
