First Day of School Again...

Today was Anna's first day of preschool. She loves her classroom because it "has a kitchen in it." She also got to take her Shamu whale for Show 'n' Tell. Now I just have Joey at home with me in the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday...at least until November!

First Day of School!

It's only August 5th and my kids are already in school! Our school district changed the school calendar this year and decided to start earlier. The only problem is that they now get out of school on May 19. It's nice to have them back in school, but I am dreading the homework, projects, deadlines, etc. Tyler is in 3rd grade and Lindsay is in 2nd grade. They are still at the age where school is fun and they were excited to see all of their friends again!

Look What We Brought Home!

I didn't think that flying with 4 kids by myself on an airplane was enough work, so we decided to bring a dog with us. Meet Otis...the newest member of our family. We found him in Idaho and brought him on the airplane to Florida. He survived the 10 hour trip like a champion. He didn't bark or whine. He's a 5-month-old miniature schnauzer and he really is such a good dog! He's so mellow and already house-trained. The kids absolutely adore him! So wish me luck...4 kids, pregnant, husband deployed and now a dog!
