One Crazy Summer!



Allegra's first day of preschool.



She goes to Precious Moments with her friends Allie, Ella, and Luke out of a woman's home and loves it.



Notice the backpack is half her size!!!



Sometimes they love each other!



Gianluca's first day at kindergarten. He's sad he can't ride the bus!



Isn't he handsome!

My 30th B-Day. More updates about that later. The kids helped decorate the cake!



Joel's 32 b-day cake that the kids help make.


Joel's b-day present in bed. The kids couldn't wait to give him his present!
(I realize I don't have Allegra's b-day pictures in here, but I currently can't find the file!!!!)
Well, I feel like I did in high school where I wouldn't write in my journal for months and then have a 10 page entry to cover all I missed. But I will spare you the gory details of this summer. I'll let the pictures do the talking. To sum it up, we had Joel's, Allegra's and my b-day. We went to Florida, then the kids and I went to Texas as an early b-day present from Joel, and we also had my family reunion at the cabin in Idaho. After all of that we got back and had a visit from Abu Maggie, Allegra broke her leg and got potty trained all in two weeks! Gianluca started kindergarten which is basically glorified preschool, and Allegra began preschool. I know you all may think she is too young, but in Texas this is completely normal. People put their kids in when they are two!!! And pay twice the price if not more!!! She loves it. Gianluca quite Tae Kwon Doe and just started a hip hop dance class and Allegra started a ballet class. Other than that... It's been one crazy summer. Sorry I've been a loser and haven't posted nor looked at any other blogs. I'll be better!!!

Happy birthday! I thought about you on your big day...especially knowing mine is exactly 3 months after yours (because I can make pretty much anything about myself.). I hope it was awesome and that your induction into 30 somethings went well. :)

Sounds like you guys had a busy summer, but a fun one. Your kids are so cute, & I agree about Kindergarten being a glorified Preschool. Maycee started 1st grade this year & all day is way better. Happy late 30th :)
