Lucia's First Day of Kindergarten

So, I sent my first little chick out of the nest today. She was very excited and got up way to early to get ready. She had her clothes picked out, her backpack and snack all ready to go. Grandma came and stayed with Sylvie so we could face the mad rush easier. It was chaotic with all the parents trying to push ahead to get their kids through the gates. Lucia was very calm through it all. She decided to sit in the very front of the classroom (that's my girl!) I couldn't get a descent smile out of her though-she was making funny faces. Then they lined up and went in the class. I felt so sad to see her off, and so did Marco. I had to carry him away crying all the way to the car. When I picked her up, she said she made a new friend (an LDS girl) and that they held hands during recess and ate their snacks together. She said they did "math activities" and read stories. She said it was kind of boring because they didn't get to play much. I just hope she is challenged.

In other news-we put another offer on a house (a bank repo) and are hoping to hear soon. We have another offer waiting for short sale approval. So, whichever (if either) comes through, we will take it. We are so cramped and ready to move! See all the extra furniture in the picture? We got a new dresser and nightstand, so we've had to shuffle stuff around. Case in point.
