Last Tuesday night..
we met friends at the beach for dinner. It was beautiful and warm. Almost warm enough to make me want to get in the water. Almost, but not quite.

Kindergarten
Lucas had his first day of Kindergarten yesterday. Around 7:00 yesterday morning he ran into our room, kissed me up and down my arm and started chanting "I get to go to school today!" By the time it was time to leave the house around 9:15, I had banned him from asking "Is it time to go yet?" Yes, this kid is ready for school, question is, is school ready for this strange little kid...
Of course after school we peppered him with questions and his answers went something like this...
Well, how did your first day go?
"Good! Well, actually it went really, REALLY good!"
Friends? Did you make some friends? (2 boys from his preschool are in his class)
"The girls seem really nice and I'm almost friends with some of them, I just have to figure out their names."
Your teacher?
"She is so sweet and nice. I thought she was going to be bossy but I was surprised how nice she was. She has a really sweet attitude and didn't say any bad words so I think she might be a Christian but I'm not sure yet."
Did you learn anything?
"Man, all I did was work, work, work!"
What did you work on?
"Mainly crafts."
Did you miss Mom?
"Uh, no. (chuckle)"

Summer '09
Perhaps you may have already noticed, but summer is almost over. Lucas starts school next week. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I think he is ready for the challenge, the interaction, and very excited about eating his snacks out of his new camouflage lunch box. I'm hoping Jill will not miss her best-est playmate and greatest foe too much for a few hours each day. I think she will enjoy making up her own rules for awhile. But back to summer.
It's been a good one full of visiting friends and being visited by friends, lots of meat on the BBQ, a shameful amount of trips to the frozen yogurt shop, many quick evening surf sessions, a bazillion pieces of sand (in the car, in the house, in my purse, in my bed...), gallons of sunscreen, and countless loads of towels. Yep, it's all good (name that brother-in-law ;).
Here are a few more summer '09 photos and also photos from our recent trip to my homeland.
