First Day of Kindergarten

Pacey had a great first day... We took her to school but on Monday she will ride the bus. When we got out of the van she said "Oh man, this is going to be a fun day!" She was right - she had lots of stories to tell us when we picked her up at aftercare.

I know what you are thinking... and yes there were tears - but not from Pacey!

Birthday Boy

Yesterday was Elliott's first birthday! We had a small party at the house with family and friends. Elliott loves watching the Baby Einstein DVDs so we decided to use that as our theme. I made the cakes but ordered all the party supplies - everything was really cute. Elliott got some really great gifts. The party was simple and nice.

Elliott took his first steps on August 5th and his first words came a little later - "Uh-Oh!" Since then he says Daddy and Grandpa but I am refusing to acknowledge any other words until he says "Mommy".

In big sister news, Pacey is going to Kindergarten... I cry every time I talk about it - I just can't believe that she is 5 years old and big enough for school... She will be going all day and attending an after school child care program housed at the school. Her school is Windsor Farms and her teacher is Mrs. Nash. Tomorrow we go for a parent/teacher conference and her first day will be Friday, the 28th. Pacey is also signed up to play soccer this fall.
