The Big Day

Lydia has been anticipating this day for a very, very long time! Time to go to kindergarten. Last night she went to bed all smiles, and woke up with the same permanent smile on her face. After a special breakfast of pancakes and scrambled eggs, we were ready just as the bus pulled up outside. She climbed onto the bus and took her seat right in front. What a brave, excited, big girl!

Now I'm off to bake up some chocolate chip cookies before she returns home. You know it must be a special day! I haven't baked cookies since....uh...1998 or so.

Left Behind

"Hmmmm.... I know I really like yellow school buses, but I'm not sure I like the looks of this!"

What else we've been up to.....

So many squirrels. So many walnut remnants. So little time.
