Ready for school to start!

Well...summer has come in the blink of an eye! Madi enjoyed gymnastics, swim lessons, and having a neighborhood full of kids to play with!

Now here we are with less than 2 weeks until school starts and it's hard to stomach that our Queenie will be a first grader! In fact I often tell her "at kindergarten" or "when you start kindergarten" when speaking to her. I think that I have not realized that she's starting 1st grade myself!

Anyhow, we're ready for her to start. She's ready with all the "gear", new school clothes, shoes, and an eager attitude! I went just went over all the 1st grade sight words with her and she only didn't know 6 out of 150!! I'm so impressed with her progress in reading and writing! She's ready, but I'm not sure if I am!

Gabi is growing like crazy! She's more than excited to see "Chicky Mouse" which is what she calls Minnie Mouse!! I also think we'll be starting a play group with her when we come back from visiting home. She runs with the big girls that Madi plays with, but I think it's important that she gets some interaction with other toddlers her age as well!

We're preparing plans, arranging flights, dog care, lawn service, house sitter, school work, hotels, and Disney plans!! I want to make sure we're making the most of this trip home and to Disney. Coming home is next to impossible from here so when we can come home we make the most out of it!! We can't wait to see you all!! take care and see you in just about a month! Until then enjoy our random pictures!!
