My Babies Are Going Off to SCHOOL!!!

(pix coming)

I can NOT believe it! My oldest babies have started SCHOOL! Hadley started Kindergarten this year and Ryan is going 1/2 days to Pre-K. Both kids really like their teachers so far and they are looking forward to riding the bus. First couple of days we're taking them.

To make it more exciting, Nanny came to visit and help us with the transition. The kids were especially excited about this. Before we told them Nanny was coming to visit, Hadley had expressed her worry and concern regarding "what if you and Daddy forget to wake me up for school?" I told her that (1) we would NOT forget to do that, especially the first day of school and (2)told her that Nanny would be here as well. Before I could say anything more, she exclaimed with relief that Nanny would make sure she was up and ready for school. LOL... Like I wouldn't. Anyway, it was quite funny.

I just can't believe that my oldest babies are going to school already. Where did the time go. The one downside of the new job was that I didn't get to enjoy their last summer before going off to school with them. work work work...

Working on the Weekend

Not only have I been busting butt during the work week, often bringing home work at the end of the day, but I'm so swamped that I've sadly found myself plugging away on the weekends. I've gotta get a handle on things before my family forgets who I am and I go made from lack of downtime.

Babies Growing TOO Quickly

The subject sums it all up....

Going Back to Cali

Third trip in a month with the new job. Not bad though. Only terrible part is that coming home it is always the midnight arrival. Tack on close to an hour to get home and that makes getting up for work the next morning tough.

I AM however, beginning to make some good headway on my knitting. Have close to 6 hours each trip to knit.

Mom is coming to town tomorrow while I'm in CA. She's coming to pick up our daughter and take her to spend a couple weeks with Nanny and Granddad before she starts Kindergarten this fall. She is SO excited.

Toy Story 3 in 3D

We took the kids for their FIRST ever movie at the theatre. Decided to watch Toy Story 3 in 3-D. HOLY COW!! While it was an EXCELLENT movie and we had a GREAT time, it was SOOOOOO expensive! Not just because it was 3-D either. I mean, sure, that added to the cost but OMG movies for the family is a wallet emptier.

All the same, it was a wonderful time and kids had a BALL! That's all that really matters.

Miss My Mommy

...not just because I love her so, which I DO, but I tend to get SO MUCH more work done on all my projects when Nanny is here.

Headed to CA

Very excited and nervous about leaving in an hour to head to the airport for my trip to CA. Flying out to interview tomorrow with several members of the executive team for a company looking to bring on board someone in Austin to head up their recruiting efforts.

We are excited to make it this far in the interview process and I'm looking forward to learning more about these guys, and the position, tomorrow.
