first day of kindergarten...

Well, it's official!  We've got Kindergartners!  The girls were SO excited when the first day of school finally arrived.  I had mixed feelings, however.  The school we are zoned for only offers full-day Kindergarten, and since they had never attended pre-school or anything like it, I was worried about how they (translation: I) would do.  But we are all adjusting quite nicely.  Though Graham would have loved to go with them!  The girls just LOVE their teacher (and so do I!), and they have already made lots of new friends.  And it's a definite added bonus that their school requires them to wear uniforms which makes our mornings run fairly smoothly.
We love our big girls!

 

summer-time...

What a wonderful summer it has been!  We have spent most of our days playing the pool, eating ice cream, frequenting parks and Lake Tahoe, and meeting up with friends.  The girls also mastered riding their bikes this summer, which was awesome!!  We also enjoyed a trip to Utah for our annual Stutz family reunion, as well as a Graham family get together to celebrate birthdays in Tahoe.  But besides that, it truly has been a lazy and low-key summer.  And just perfect in my opinion!
