First Day

As we said yesterday...today was Kade's first day at Kindergarten. It was a wild day for Jen...as any mother will tell you. The good news is that nobody cried ... at least not that I am aware of.

The day started off with a hug goodbye from sister...

To say that Kade was ready is an understatement...he walked right on off to the bus stop!

There he goes...

Payton waiting at the bus stop for Kade to return...

Avery was eagerly waiting at the bus stop also...

And there he is...with his crown and all!

Phew! One down 2 to go...

3,287 days later...

So tomorrow is the big day...Kade's first day of Kindergarten. Yesterday we went to the open house to see his classroom and meet his teacher. You be the judge...do you think Kade is going to like his new teacher? He also starts soccer in two weeks...a new life for everyone!

Not to be outdone...little miss Payton is going to start both dance school (she is already practicing in her new outfit) as well as pre-school at the local church. She is alll girl!

Avery Roll

Now, I missed the roll again tonight because I was putting Payton to sleep...but this time The Mrs. caught it on tape so I guess it counts ;-) Here is Miss Avery in action! Thank goodness we are back in the land of carpet!!

Two things

First, I have unconfirmed reports this mornign from Jen that Avery finally rolled on her own from her front to her back. I tried to get it on film...but you know how that goes. I just caught the second showing where she got pissed and started crying.

Second, need to pass along this little family conversation today. We were driving in the car, heading over to Ken's to pick up Kylie.
Kade: Dad, go faster!
Dad: Kade, I can't.
Kade: Faster, like a roller coaster!
Dad: There is a red light up ahead.
Mom: And there is a police man right there [pointing]...you don't want daddy to get a ticket do you?
Kade: No...ok...go slow.
[pause]
Payton: Daddy, do you have any money?
Dad: For what honey?
Payton: To give the police man.
[pause]
Mom: [laughing] Payton, we aren't in Costa Rica anymore...you can't pay the police in the US.
Payton: Oh.
Ah, ourworldly children!

Finally - progress

Here is a screenshot from Redfin today - note the status line ;-). So all that paperwork must have finally gone somewhere useful!


Also, Christy posted a little mention about Kade and Haily parting ways....
