"Preschool" is back in session. The twins started on Monday.
Mommy thinks summer vacation was too short and is still not feeling ready for this new routine.

The kids think summer vacation was way too long. They were ready to go back to school after one week. literally.

One morning midway through the summer Carissa even cried for her 'little tiny baby'. I'm not saying she just shed a few tears, I'm saying she all-out wailed for her favorite little baby doll from Ms. Vicki's classroom.

Here they are running to their classroom with great enthusiasm. Carissa's hiding a 'surprise' for Ms. Vicki behind her back (pictures of them for their cubby).Here's to a great year!

Sunshiny Day

Personalize a free digital scrapbook I gift to you a smilebox of my two kiddos. I just couldn't resist.

Arizona

Yes, we returned from AZ about 5 weeks ago. I've been out of the blog-o-sphere but I'm back and will be posting some up-dates. In AZ we did a lot of swimming. It was great. Even if the pool felt more like a hot tub than a swimming pool!
My mom's sweet neighbor gave the kidlets these cute little beanie babies. Carissa was especially enthralled with "Spotter" the wild cat and Caleb with "Derby" the horse. Thanks Paulette!
The kids and I made a couple trips across town to hang out with this crew.
Carissa, Joshua, Eli, & Caleb had lots of fun with marbles and other toys in their basement.And had lots of fun hugging.

This is a clip of my brother, aka 'Uncle B' sharing what its like trying to have a coherent conversation over dinner with three little ones.
