ALAINA'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

WOW... how did she get so big?! Alaina had her first days of preschool this week. She loved it and is so excited to go back.

The first day was just an open house to meet her teacher and check out her room.
Today was her first real day of school all by herself!

Check out this guy that Nic painful discovered.
Its called a Saddleback Catepillar and they turn into the most boring looking moths!

Breezy Point, NY 2008

We visited my home town of Breezy Pt., NY for a week of vacation. The Chace Family joined us for our adventures. With 4 adults and 5 kids packed into a 3 bedroom beach house lent to us by the generous Mary Malone, we explored the beach, bay, aquarium and Coney Island Boardwalk. We even rode the Wonder Wheel. Our trip couldn't have been better. We had incredible weather the ENTIRE week we were there and everything went extremely smoothly. All of the kids got along grandly and everyone was well behaved! Hooray for a wonderful summer vacation!
