Today was Lydia's first day back in preschool. She seemed rather ambivalent* about the whole deal, but given the fact that my precious daughter generally has
either strong positive OR
strong negative opinions on the topic at hand... "ambivalent" is, well, just peachy! She'll be in school for 3 mornings each week and her teachers, Mrs. Arambula (that's
fun to say! :-) and Mrs. Ratliff, seem so very nice. I think it's going to be a good year! Her class is named the Dragonflies. Last year she was a Butterfly. I'm still trying to figure out that progression....
*the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action, simultaneously drawing him or her in opposite directions.

Post-First-Day-of-School 2nd Annual Celebration at Maggie Moo's (flavor pick: Blue Cotton Candy with Marshmallows mixed in.) 
Marcus isn't nearly as lucky. I still get to choose for him (ha!). Mommy's choice for Marcus: non-staining Vanilla with Marshmallows mixed in. Can someone say "Bo-ooooring!")

Good thing you cleared that up, I thought she could write with both hands.
Grandma Vi,

Glad it looks like a positive year ahead! Miss you all . . .
Gotta love that blue face! They're both so grown up! I'm missing you - we need a chat soon. :-)
Thanks for the update. I do not think that I would have recognized Marcus. He is so grown up! And Lydia - quite the cutie. I love the Maggie Moo's tradition...

(In response to your post on my blog!)
Oh, I think every girl has a bit of princess and dinosaur in her! Eloise's favorite gift from her party? Her bug vacuum. She caught a fly and a ladybug today. She tells me that her favorite center at school is "blocks", but that her teacher often assigns her to try out "home living" or "art".
We had a GREAT time at the party! And, just as an encouragement for you...Eloise had a "bear" party planned since, oh, about May or June. She wanted it at "build a bear" and I had already started making the reservation when Eloise up and decided 4 weeks before her party that she wanted a princess party AT HOME.
With Lydia's party five months away perhaps she will change her mind, too! Although I think a dinosaur party would be super fun!!!! Not sure how to plan for that one... :)
The trip to TN to see us sounds incredible! Just let us know when!
Miss you,
Emily
