Preschool

I never thought I would send Miguel to preschool but when my Mom told me that my preschool teachers ( who has since retired), daughter was starting her own preschool I could not resist. He had been begging to go to school like Emma anyways and I thought he would enjoy it. He does! He has made a really good friends and loves learning new things. He only goes twice a week which works well for me because I miss him like crazy when he is gone. Here a some pics from his first day.

On the way to school....

After school holding his first homework; counting red M&M's and eating the rest :D

August

This August was a fun but very stressful month for us. We purchased a house and Emma started school at her new school. We love our home but MAN! is it a TON of WORK!!!! There is so much that has to be done that we are used to other people doing for us since we've always lived in apartments. It's a great house though...it's a 4 bedroom 2 bath with a huge backyard ( the main reason we purchased it). We also live next door to a horse pasture and in our backyard there is a gate that if opened brings you right to the horses with nothing between you but a chain and some poles. Here are some pics of the house. The only ones I have are from the real estate listing. If I ever get done unpacking and decorating I'll post some better ones :D

We were lucky enough to get Emma into a great school with a spanish program. She had a tough transition but is starting to find her footing and doing great. I am thrilled! We went from crying every morning and begging for me to take her back home to walking herself in and only three days out of the week asking to stay home :D Here are some pics from her first day....

Her backpack was REALLY heavy :D
