Camping at Sugarloaf Ridge

On Friday afternoon we headed to Sugarloaf Ridge SP to camp with our friends Greg, Mary, Lucas, and Cora. It was our first time tent-camping with both Alanna and Ethan. They did great and had so much fun. We cannot wait to go again next year. I see tons of camping in our future, yay!

First Day of School

Today was Alanna's first day of school. Our big girl is a first grader! She is clearly her Daddy's daughter, because she remained calm and cool all morning long. I on the other hand was a nervous wreck, and felt the same anxiety I always felt as a child on the first day (and a few days before). Some things never change!

When I picked Alanna up this afternoon, she was still full of smiles and told me, "Mom, I had a great day!" What a wonderful way to start the school year.

Our Painted Ladies

My Mom recently bought the kids a "Live Butterfly Garden." They were very excited when the caterpillars arrived, and loved watching butterfly metamorphosis up close. Last week we released our Painted Lady butterflies in the backyard. It was really cool.
