Completely Random

 As usual, I found a bunch of blog worthy pictures of a bunch of things that we have been doing.

The whole family at an open house a customer had at their restaurant.

Sometimes she wont take no for an answer. Today she insisted on bringing her luggage on the walk around the neighborhood.

Mixed in with all of this, I had a work trip to New Orleans.

We get up early and do a lap of the neighborhood. We were up at sunrise on this day. Check out the long shadows. The sun just came up over the trees.

This could be the coolest ride at any city park. It's a zip line that is about 40' long and there is a line of kids to give it a shot. If I thought it could hold me, I would have been in line too.

First Day of Kindergarten!

My little girl went off to kindergarten today. I'd be lying if I said it was easy. We have been going to the orientations at the school and meetings with her new teacher and everything to get her ready for school. So she was super excited and ready to go. The first thing she said to me today was how excited she was for kindergarten and how she wanted to get ready. She was ready to go, I wasn't ready to let her go.

Here are some pictures of the morning.

On the front step with a sign and her new butterfly backpack.

She practically ran onto the bus. We had to slow her down to take pictures.

Just for fun. Here is a picture of me going to school for one of my first days. Not sure what grade. Nice briefcase...

More Birthday

As promised, here are a few more pictures of the birthday parties.

That reaction is worth the price of the Lego's.

Lot's of work ahead of her. Once she starts, she cant stop. So this took her a couple of days.

This is the birthday party for the kids. All covered up and painting in the backyard.

Here is the birthday party party.

Funny faces.

Same group, under the swingset.

What's a birthday without a pinata?

Everyone got to take a swing at that thing.

After photo of the painted pots with the plants.

This is from the family birthday party. Wearing her new vest which is purple of course.

The birthday girl took this picture of us all. Not too bad.

Here is a picture of her taking a picture of us.
