Oscar the Second Grader

20 Aug 2012

Off to a good start! I like his teacher a lot (that’s her in the photos – Prudence). Drop off is in the upper yard – and if you didn’t know – that’s kind of a big deal. I haven’t checked out the classroom yet (it’s off limits to parents until ‘back to school night’). We got Tamir in our class again, so that’s fun. Oscar reports everything is great. His seat is by the water fountain, “so if I get thirsty, it’s easy.” Here’s to a happy, hydrated year.


(They both picked out their outfits, entirely. I will try to have some sway tomorrow, on Lucy’s first day.)


Big hellos


Tamir!


Jacob in the A’s hat.


See ya after school!


No worries


Enzo the 5th grader! Last year at Clarendon!


Sweet Kiera sent over apple cookies – in time to make the morning lunchbox! Can you stand it?


Yum!

—Stand by for Laurel Hill Nursery School – starts tomorrow – 1 to 4pm daily.—

Ice Cream Date

16 Aug 2012

We finally got over to the ‘Ice Cream Bar’ on Cole, just below Carl. So Cute! Shelly and I actually made a date on the calendar. Isn’t that how all important stuff gets done? Also, we got to decide what was the best time to let our kids load up on ice cream. (1pm.)


Lucy managed the high-stool/big-ice-cream combo well. Thankfully the place was pretty empty.


The menu was huge, and filled with all kinds of weird stuff too. I played it safe with the Cherry soda (YUM). And I helped Lucy of course. The chocolate fudge sauce brought me back! I’ll experiment more next time. Anyone want to make a date?

May 7th

Our sweet Ava baby would be nine today. Lucy and I went out for peonies. (And a haircut.) They didn’t have the pink ones I wanted. They has some tiny dark pink ones, that weren’t open yet. So I went with the white. It’s fine, right?


I love the wrapping. It’s always my temptation to leave them in the paper.


Shall I photoshop them pink?


A PRETTY butterfly from Auntie Kristi ♥


Running with a lollipop?!

     
Cady sent me these pics – isn’t she sweet! And – that is exactly the right pink peony. I’ll make sure to call in my order ahead next year (10!)

Tonight we are going out to dinner down the street – Ragazza. I want to try out their back patio. After, we’ll tear into these:


Kiera and Cole came over for breakfast. SK surprised us with these classic lovelies! ♥!

Easter ’12

08 Apr 2012


The kids were scarcely back from church for 30 seconds when Oscar spotted an egg and the hunt was on.


Jeanette and Jimmy are in town!


Kiera (&family) hosted Easter Brunch, and it was Incredible!

Kiera & Cole, Jeanette & Jim, THANK YOU!! What a gorgeous brunch you treated us to! So much attention to detail! It was very special. We will never forget it!
(I look forward to linking to the Sweet Kiera post, when it’s up, for all the pretty food photography!)

Can we do this every year? :)
