Everyday Life

Before school.  Ivy received a bunny towel from Grandma Joanie for Christmas.  She loves being a bunny after her bath, and we all love to snuggle with that little bunny.

Here Ivy is sitting on one of the sofas that we are sending back.  We got a sofa, loveseat and rocker/recliner that we don't like.  Instead we are ordering a red comfy sectional and ottoman.  I'll take pictures when we get them.

This is Faith's new daybed.  She wasn't sure that she was going to like having a daybed, but the truth is that she LOVES it.  She likes how high it is and has all sorts of secret plans for what she'll keep and do underneath it....

Below is the backside of Twitchell Elementary School.  This is where I go two times a day to drop off and pick up kids.

The crazy begins...

Faith is easy to spot at school with her cute tan jacket and rolling backpack.  They are getting the 5th graders used to going to different classes for different subjects, so they will be prepared for middle school.  The downside is that Faith doesn't have a desk to keep any of her things in, so she brings everything home every night.  Lots of stuff.

There are kids who like to walk on the sidewalk and kids who like to walk on the rocks.  Will is one of the kids who like to walk on the rocks.  He chooses the rocks over the sidewalk every day after school.  Behind him in the burgundy jacket is his friend, Ryan.  Ryan's mom, Bridget, is turning into my best friend here.  Her husband is a red head who flies F15's for a living and she is a blond Harvard Grad.
