Can you believe Evan is 1!!!

We had a fun Birthday! My mom flew out and enjoyed it with us. She has been to each one of the kids first birthday parties. The above was taken on the 14th....his REAL Birthday. He was so sick, poor guy was just miserables...he would just cry and cry....and that is just not our typical Evan. The rest are from the day that we actually had his BD party. The 17th. As you can tell, he was just starting to get better.

He dedided he was done and took off over the presents onto something else.

He loved the cake...but not the ice cream.

First Day of School for 2009-2010

I know this is VERY long overdue...but what I can do, I haven't been blogging!

This is Elaine in 3rd grade! I can't believe that I am the mother of a 3rd grader!!!

Elaine and her teacher Miss Long.

Drew is in First grade.....as hard as it is believe that Elaine is in 3rd grade...I am so excited that Drew is in 1st!

Drew and Mrs. Cicora

Izzy started a couple of weeks after Elaine and Drew.....It even got colder and she wasn't able to wear shorts like the other kids. Boy was she ever ready!

Izzy and Mrs. Ezop.

Izzy was all about painting. She is also my clingy child. She said the funniest thing. We pulled up to the school and I turned off the van and opened my door and she says "Mom I thought you were just droppng me off!" My reply is "well I am going to walk you in and say 'Hi' to your teacher and things." She wasn't happy about that "BUT MOM I know the way to my class!" My clingy girls was more than ready to be left at school by herself! When we went to the open house just a week or so before it, she wouldn't leave my side and if someone came and talked to her she even hid behind me! I was so proud and a little sad all at the same time. It was as she was saying "I really don't need to right now".....and I thought she would.
