School!

Ollie and Penny started school in the last few days. They both are adjusting to early rising and new teachers. 

Lolo got to come pick up Ollie on a half day. She started kindergarten on the first full day. 

Penny is going two days a week to preschool. She started school on a rainy day. 

Summer at Mimi - PopPop's

The kids got a few days before school started to hang out at (lovingly termed) the pleasure dome aka Mimi and POpPop's house. Wes and I were in meetings and getting our classrooms ready. Science City and swimming were among the many events.

Ollie's Pacman Wall

Ollie had to have an orange wall. After much debate, he decided on this Pacman wall decal. JJ got this one for O and two willow trees for P. Her yellow wall is in progress. 

The New House

We moved!  We have a pretty new house in Shawnee. It has lots of room for the kids and a huge backyard. We were sad to see the old house go - especially Ollie and I. We love our new place! 

More picture to come when we get the rooms finished. 

New Jersey

This year was a little different. My grandma was recovering from a recent hospital stay and could not come with us. We went to see her several times. 

The big kids decided to win her a monkey at the arcade. I hope she continues to feel better each day. 

We spend many nice days at the beach. And lots of time on the boardwalk. 

Top of the Ferris wheel. Ollie is not sure he likes heights.
