First Days




As each day passes, I realize how quickly time goes by. After celebrating both of Sean and Isabella's birthdays, it just reminds me of how big they are getting. I am partly sad to see our kids grow up so fast, but at the same time, I love seeing them (and us) reach new milestones. The following two pictures were taken on Sean's first day of "school".

The first picture is of Sean all dressed and ready to go with his new backpack. Oh, and I can't forget to mention "puppy" that is with him. "Puppy" doesn't go to school with Sean, but he waits for him in Mommy's car. :) Sean loves "school". It is actually a MMO (Mother's Morning Out) program. Sean goes three times a week and is there for almost four hours. It has been great for him, and he is having the best time. Many times when we drive to his school in the morning, he says to me "I'm excited!"

The second picture is of Isabella on Sean's first day of school. It is her first morning that she is able to play with all of the toys in our family room without big brother Sean over her shoulder. She is doing great, as well. I think she likes having that alone time at home, and some time to have Mommy all to herself. Although, I have to say that she does miss Sean during the day. It is so cute to see her face when I tell her it's time to go get Sean from school. She just gets the biggest smile on her face.

Surprise surprise! And greetings from Finland! We found your blog through a friend and took a quick look at what is going on with you and the kids! Sean and Isabella look SO cute and have grown a lot since we last saw them! Our kids are doing fine, too. Actually, within just a couple of days we will be on that side of the Atlantic, as we are heading to Orlando for a holiday!!! We will also make a 2 day trip to Valdosta to visit the College I spent one year at in the early 1990's.
All the best to the whole family! It was great to get to know you while in Colombia!
