Finally, dinosaurs and stars

Some Pig.

Anything is possible. Sister's in SPACE.

Reach for the stars.

Me too, I need to take out all of Olivia's pegs before she sees me. One, two, three GO!

You light up my LIFE, keep finding and making new patterns.

I'm a shrimp next to this fellow.

I don't know about this one!

Got Milk?

This is way COOL mom, can we bury Olivia PLEASE?

Digging for Diamonds

We didn't take a formal vacation this summer, but we did visit several museums and other events around CT. We had a great time exploring new things and visiting new parts of the state. Have some time tonight, so I'll post some pictures. Enjoy

Kindergarten

Today was Olivia's 1st day of Kindergarten. She began with a photo opt with the school mascot, then went on a classroom scavenger hunt locating all the important things in the classroom, only to be followed by a story and coloring activity. Did I mention, she was only in Kindergarten for 1 hour with me. Leaving school on the 1st day of school was difficult, but there is only one 1st day of school, so I managed. She loves her new teacher and her new friends. Aliette has moved to the toddler room, since she is walking and needing more play time. We go to court next week to finalize the adoption, I can't wait. Lots of pictures for that glorious day. Enjoy the pictures.

Circus

Nothing better than face painting at the circus in New Canaan. Allie wasn't so sure, but really enjoyed the popcorn.

My silly girls.

A totally face painted. So cute, too bad it was late and we needed to wash it before going to bed.

Summer fun

Hello everyone. It has been a very busy few weeks. Aliette is having surgery tomorrow. Please pray that the procedures will be routine and there won't be any surprises or complications.

School ended on June 24, only for summer school to begin on June 28th. I finished on Friday. I'm hoping to go to Bloomsburg early next week for a week. Then, unfortunately, the school year will begin again before I know it on August 24!

Swimming in grandma's pool has been a daily event . Both of my girls are water babies! Aliette loves to splash and jump into the pool.
