First Days of School

Ava started school on August 25.  She will be going Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays this year.  After  a few tearful mornings, she is excited to go each morning.  She loves her teachers, Ms. Mandy and Ms. Carla.  She already talks about all her new friends and is even using the potty at school.  Maybe she can help teach the other kids?  The first pictures are from the meet and greet the Friday before school started.  The following pics are from the our big first day.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a relaxing weekend.  We went to the library for "Sky Bear," a marionette show, on Saturday. We then watched the Florida/Hawaii game at a kid friendly sports bar near the house.  Ava loved all the cheering.  We had to tell her not to cheer for Florida though. Apparently, the Florida Alumni Association was having a party.  Ugh!

Sunday, we hung by the pool in our neighborhood with friends.  It was so much fun to see some of our pool buddies we hadn't seen since Ava started school last week. Sunday night, we went to a jazz concert at a vineyard near the house.  We ran into some friends Ava took gymnastics with last year.  That was neat to see the girls reconnect.

Monday, Greg went kayaking and Ava and I hit the pool again.  Our next door neighbors were sweet and invited Ava and I to dinner.  Ava and Drew had so much fun playing together.
