First Day- Pre-K

Today was Ava's first day of Pre-K. She was so excited.
Seems everything went excellent, I'm so happy!

She came home with 2 art projects, a homework binder and a library book. She was eager to tell me that her helper job today was passing out the cups at snacktime. We've already read the book and her homework is finito. Yay!

Here are some pics that I took before and after school. As you can see, she was really determined to show her backpack in her pics! =)
When I dropped her off...checking out the pet guinea pig, Lilly.
When I pulled up at the end of the day they were outside on the playground. Here's a few pics of them lined up to go back inside.

This is what Dean does when he is finished eating. He brushes his hands together and says his version of, "All Done."
I just love this kid!

CT Vacation

Seems we've been back from our trip to Connecticut for just about a month now. And yet, I am just getting around to uploading a few pics.

In my defense, we were all sick for a while, Mamaw & Papaw came to visit from TX, we had Dean's 1st bday party, the consignment sale, etc, etc. Things have been busy.

Back to the vacation, we had such a nice time. This year five families went away together; Behans, Devines, Grabers, Grazianos & McCormacks. There were 10 adults and 8 kids. This was the 5th year to go away as a group. Good times.
