First Day of School -- 2012

We rode our bikes on the new trail to Clayton.  Andrew's 1st grade teacher is Mrs. Moss.  James' 3rd grade teacher is Mrs. Ostarticki, affectionately known as Mrs. Oz.  James has his very own desk for the first time!

Sleepover!

Thanks everyone!

A special thanks to my grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins for the cards and money!  I used them to add to my Super Mario plush and video game collection!
