Back to school?

I was just looking through some pictures and came across this from this past summer. It was during the Cisne Reunion and they had opened the high school to the public for a couple of hours so a few of my friends and I walked over to see how it had changed. The funny thing about this picture is that we never had class in this room (apparently they do now). It was the library. We had study hall in there sometimes, but never a class like the chairs are set up for. AND it used to be double the size. Now half of it is another room used as a computer lab (yeah, we maybe had 8 of those monster computers with the black screen and green letters (DOS I think) that the whole school shared). The room was never blue either......just white. It was fun to go back and see how everything had changed and what had not. (For the record, I don't remember any of us ever so eagerly raising our hands to participate in class)

Elliott turns 6!

Yes, he's 6 now. He was up bright and early to let us know that it was his birthday and that he didn't want anyone to butter his nose (we all know that was impossible)! In fact, he drew a picture of ALL the things that he didn't want to happen on his birthday, including NO TEEBALL, NO CHOMPING, NO FACE WHISKERS, NO NOSE-BUTTERING, NO WATCHING COLLEGE FOOTBALL and NO NOISES FROM ETHAN (this last one being the most difficult as any of you who have spent any time with Ethan lately would agree with). So we had birthday pancakes, he took treats to school, he got to eat at McDonald's for lunch and we opened gifts and played this afternoon. I think he had a pretty good day since he was still saying that he couldn't get to sleep at 9:30 tonight!

a little recap....

Here's just bits and pieces of what we've been up to lately. I'll try to be better about keeping this updated!

Nana and PaPa visit

I've been way behind with the blogging...sorry!!! I'm trying to catch up with summer now and one of our biggest things this summer was Nana and PaPa's visit from Florida. They got to stay up here for almost 2 weeks and we were very sad to see them go. We had so much fun and we usually don't get to spend that much time together so it was nice that they were able to get away for a while!
