Sam's First Day of School - FINALLY

Sam finally started school on Tuesday! His preschool was delayed by two weeks because of construction delays. The new school is awesome. It seems like Sam always gets to do what Matthew did - now he gets to go to a new school that Matthew missed out on.

He had a great day & no problem with wanting to stay. I think it may be because he has the best teacher at Peace Lutheran Preschool - Ms. Mac!!!!

Family Photo

It's just a photo that we had to take because Matthew needed one for school, but it's not very often that we are all in the same picture. Or, at least I am in front of the lens!

New Park Downtown Austin

This is a new park downtown that we went to a few weekends ago.

They have a very cool sprinkler park for the kids.

I think it is so cool to go there, you get a great view of the Austin skyline.

We were quite entertained there - we saw a guy get a ticket because his dog was off his leash, another guy get into an argument with a bicycle cop because he got in trouble for riding his bike in an area he shouldn't (the cop was riding in the area too - but his argument was that he was there to enforce the laws - either way, you should argue with a cop that might have to give you a pump to the jail :) ), and also a naked kid. Not a naked kid because he was playing around in the water, a naked kid because the Mom thought that it was OK to just walk around naked! Only in Austin!!!!!

New Guest Bedroom

Almost forgot I took these pictures.

This is our new guest bedroom - the desk Kurt built out of the closet isn't finished yet - I'm in the process of painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding...you get the idea.

So, all you out of towners - you have a room all to yourselves again!!! Just make sure you call first :)

Hide & Sleep

Sam woke me up Sunday morning "Where Matthew". I said in bed. Sam said "No, Mommy" I said "Yes, Sam". Then I proceeded to get up, make coffee, get the paper, sit down to drink & read - look under the coffee table and the left over fort from last night and I found Matthew. Once he woke up I found out he was also naked - he had an accident in the night, didn't wake me up and wondered up stairs until he found a place to sleep!!!

Sam's 2nd Gotcha Day

Sam got to pick out a new bear @ Build-A-Bear workshop for his 2nd Gotcha day!!

He picked the same bear as Matthew - but a different Hockey uniform!

The bears name....beary bear!!!

P.S. Yes, he is sporting yet another bruise on his head. Not sure if he fell off the bunk bed ladder or if he was pushed!
