Month: September 2011

James celebrated his birthday week with a party at home on Wednesday and a family and friends party on Saturday.  This was also the first week of school so things were very busy!  On Wednesday, James celebrated with Mommy, Daddy and Alanna and had a spaghetti dinner (his request).  Later that evening Sam and Audrey came over to play and watch James open his presents.   Saturday was the big party day!  Friends and Family were all invited to our house and we rented a large water bounce slide.  Luckily we had really good weather for it, minus the cold hose water.   The kids didn’t seem to mind and had a great time.  James enjoyed his many gifts and enjoyed great food from Mommy and both Grandmas.

2011 marks the first year where both James and Alanna are both going to school. James is starting transitional 1st grade and Alanna is beginning 3’s Pre-school. Both kids adjusted to the first day nicely. Alanna was ready to go and was very “helpful” in her first few days of preschool. James is also adjusting well except for the bussing incident where he was dropped of quite late and at the wrong place. After being very brave, Mommy and Daddy found him and treated both kids to a nice dinner.
