Grace had another good day at school. I'm so happy she is liking it!
Lola and I went to Trader Joe's and then went to pick up some fabric remnants from Freecycle. Gotta love Freecycle. If you haven't checked it out in your area, it's worth a look. I got rid of all my boxes that way.
I got packed and packed the Airstream tonight. We're getting up very early and heading to Keuka. Unfortunately, we won't be able to spend a lot of time there because the drive is long and the weekend is short. We didn't know that Grace would start school before Labor Day.
Lola' new trick is now trying to climb up my legs and do a flip. Grace used to do the same thing. She is also starting to hit and say "no!" a lot. I hope we don't have any problems with preschool! Most of the time she is really good, but she's starting to show that she's 2!
Have a great weekend!

First day of first grade
I haven't written in a long time because I've just had a lot to do with the move and vacation and school starting and everything else going on!
The move went smoothly and we're in our new home. We're still unpacking, but are getting settled in.
Grace started 1st grade today and went off on the bus like an old pro with her wheelie bag in tow. There was a bit of drama at the end of the day when I woke Lola to go with me to the end of the driveway to meet Grace at the bus. She was agreeable and then all of a sudden turned into a mad woman. So, for an entire 45 minutes she cried and wanted to be put down and picked up, etc.
The excitement besides that was that Grace didn't get off the bus that came by, but another kid that was with her when they got on the bus in the morning did get off. A family from across the street came to talk with me and even they were getting worried for me when it was 4:30 and the bus hadn't come yet. I went in to check messages and grab my cell phone and the phone book. I kept looking out to the road and tried to pull up the school website when Lola unplugged the computer. I finally got the bus garage number and called and they said her bus was still out. Finally a few minutes later it pulled up and she bounded off very excitedly.
She had a fabulous day and loves her teacher. Over the course of the evening I learned more and more about the day. Yay-so far so good!
She did just wake with a nightmare and I lied down with her for a while. Hopefully she's asleep for the night now!
A few other highlights of the summer were culture camp where Grace lost her first tooth, a week-long Adirondack camping trip and exploring fun stuff in our new area like the zoo and children's museum. Lola is getting much more talkative and spirited and is truly a joy most hours of the day!
