And, we have a preschooler!

As I write this, Sam is at his 2nd day of preschool. He seemed to have a good time on the first day. It was a very easy transition....Ms. Jenny asked them to count to 3, wave good-bye to the grown-ups, and they were off to class! Andrew gets to meet Sam after school, a responsibility he seems to like, and walk to the spot where I meet them.

Do the Puyallup

We "did" the fair today, America's 6th largest and the 8th largest in the world (really, it was in the Seattle Times). Fortunately, the kids aren't big enough yet to do any of the scary rides, where you might have to have a parent go with you. :) It was fun to watch the "Extreme Scream" and "Slingshot", though. After we did some games, rides and dined on Krusty Pups (fair corn dogs, yummy), the boys played some fiddle music with their violin studio at one of the stages.

We have a 2nd grader!

Yesterday was the first day of school, and Andrew's settling into the routine already. He has the same teacher as last year (she is "looping" with the class), Ms. McCann. So far, the start of the school year has gone really well. Stay tuned for Sam's first day, September 10th.
