First Day of School


Yesterday was the first day of school. Sam is a big first grader this year. It seems much older than a kindergartner. He seems to think it is much older too. He described yesterday as "awesome". After school we went for ice cream. That is our tradition. Ok, it does not take much to deserve a trip to Dairy Queen, but the first and last days of school are special and deserve ice cream. So are the 19th, 37th and 124th days. Oh, and any other day in between. Just kidding, I don't think we get it that often. Our friends Levi and Soraya joined us. Levi started Jr. Kindergarten this year and Soraya is in first grade like Sam. They are at St. Sebastian's though which is just down the street. Carmen and her kids were supposed to join us too, but they were all sick. Thanks to Sam, but unbeknownst to his mom he had picked up a virus somewhere, shared it on Tuesday when we were all together. He did not get sick until last Thursday though. Luckily for him he was ok by Tuesday for school. Unluckily for his friends they were all a few days behind him. So far Elizabeth and Daddy have been spared.
I have included some pictures from the first day.

Dairy Queen....Yummy!!! I can't believe how much little E is filling out...I love her little apple cheeks. She is just a dolly baby!! I found this awesome site www.asiangrocer.com out of San Fran, they have tons of food, candy, sauces...you name it. We recently out for Chinese and the kids had Udon noodles and loved them. This site has them...tons of different flavors/styles...and so reasonable as is the shipping price. I ordered Udon noodles, whistle candy and flower kisses. The kids are so excited to get our order, it should come this weekend. They keep asking me if Quinn will like the Udon noodles....Still waiting for our LSC, day 45. Love all your pictures you post.
