Pregnancy = Beauty
I was at a wedding this weekend and at my assigned table was Alyssa (a friend)....who despite her teeny tiny bump is due in 15 days. I grabbed her and we went outside to take some pictures with the Lake Superior background. Doesn't she look super fabulous?

First Day of Kindergarten and other fun facts
First off....this is Kendall's favorite dance song right now (just don't watch the scantily clad women in the video).
Secondly, her next favorite song is this:
The day started with Dill bouncing out of bed. That never happens. Never ever. Today was a big day. Kindergarten was starting. BUT EVEN BIGGER THAN THAT!!!!.....she was going to become a full fledged RIDER OF THE BUS. Dressed in a flash. Pulled the hair up. Got dressed. Pinned the little card to her shirt that had her name on it (just in case they go AWOL or something). Out the door at 8:10 to wait for the 8:21 arrival of the bus. 8:35 rolls around and I am suspicious. Call the bus depot. The route changed....they don't come down our street now(let's just say it was a miscommunication between the school and the bus depot with a dabble of having moved recently to really goof the whole thing up). Kindergartener in tears. Jump in the car.....don't want to be late for school on the first day. We will try again tomorrow.

First Day of Preschool and Bonus Boy Pictures
 |
| We did a "free cucumber and eggplant" stand. Not too many takers. He sat there for 30 minutes hoping someone would take one. He got a lot of waves. Some honks. I also dig that he likes to wear his hiking boots, sans socks, all the time. |

For you madre--I posted this on Facebook

We remember the stereotypes about home economics, while forgetting the movement’s crucial lessons on healthy eating and cooking.
Karis DeMarse I learned many important life skills in your mom's class:)3 hours ago · · 1 personLoading...
Damon Circosta I have a law degree, a bachelors degree, and a high school diploma. I learned more useful knowledge in 7th and 8th grade home economics than anywhere else in my years of school... not AT ALL joking.3 hours ago · · 1 personLoading...
