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

Congrats on the house!! I was wondering about that. It looks great! I'm so happy for you guys because you've spent more than your fair share of time living in tiny, crappy apartments. I hope you enjoy it! And, Miguel looks just like Ces. I showed Mike the pictures and he agrees. Your family is cuter than ever!

You're house is beautiful. I love Emma's face with her heavy backpack. I'm glad Emma's doing better with school. My mom says the transition to a Spanish speaking program is really hard for a lot of kids. She's so cute!
