We're officially back on a schedule. Maggie is going to enjoy one more year of pre-school to be extra ready for Kindergarten next year, and Eli started his first grade year. They both have great teachers and are excited to be back. Eli was a little nervous about school lunch, but was impressed with the tray because it had "pockets" for all his food. Tomorrow we'll be taking our lunch to see how the Buzz Lightyear lunch bag works. Apparently it has really cool pockets too.
Monica pulled a Super Mom stunt and decided to take a road trip with four children - alone. She had told Bronson and Eli about the "4-corners," and they were fascinated with the idea of being able to stand in 4 states at once. Below are some pics highlighting their adventure. For more details (and her perspective of the whirlwind 48 hours), you can check out her blog post of the trip here. Eli loved the trip. Thanks Monica!
As part of Raspberry Days, Grandpa H decided he wanted to take Eli for his first helicopter ride. I loved the idea, especially because it is the exact same way I had mine (Eli's age, with Dad, at Bear Lake). I am searching for the picture and will hopefully add it to this post soon.
