school days

Summer finally had to come to an end this morning, as we all found ourselves out and about at the crack of dawn, preparing for another full and busy school year. It is hard to believe but Isabella had her 3rd first day of school today. She was very excited to go back to see her teachers and her friends, she couldn't wait to get up, and in fact she was up at 5:30!!! She had a great first day as did Marcus and myself. Lucy on the other hand is fighting a pretty brutal virus and slept the day away at grammy's house.

It was a rainy, hot morning, perfect for mermaid rain boots! 

This is Izzy on her first day of school 2011

Here she is on her first day of school 2010!

We had a full, fabulous summer and we ended our summer with a lovely trip to Boulder Ridge Animal Park with the girls.  It was great to be able to spend a day with our family of four before life gets so busy again. 

Izzy checking out the alligator!

I can't remember what kind of animal this is, but it's name is Lucy and it licked all of the sticky peanut butter and jelly remnants out of Lucy's stroller, pretty funny!
