ms. perle and caroline

making herself at home :)

this is how susanna napped this am

nice and clean!

today was caroline's first day of 3k preschool...and she loved it! i took a few pictures on our front porch, which made us late, but it's worth it to have those pixs :) like i expected, she had no problem at all leaving me and waved good bye at the door. i had to make her come back and give me a hug and kiss and take a pix with her teacher, mrs. emily perle (who is wonderful!). she has yet to ever cry going to "school". susanna and i had just enough time to go to the grocery, come home, drink a bottle, unload clean dishes, load dirty dishes, do laundry, make up beds and then it was time to go back and get sister. caroline was so excited to see us when we got to her room to pick her up. she jabbered the whole way home. i asked her if she wanted to go back to school again or stay at home with me and she said, "mommy, i'm going to go to school, but you can always come back and get me when i'm done every day"...there is not a chance this girl would be happy at home with me every day, she is way too social for her own good (and mine)!

OK, you know I'm not the dramatic one, but I really did almost cry when I saw the pictures of Caroline going to school. My how time flies! Thank you for sharing these with us! OK, going to watch the videos of John now. You tell him Jaime says he is the bomb, too! Love you!!!

Our girl can't really be old enough for school (even if it is preschool). Tell her Grandma thinks she looked very pretty on her first day and I am so glad she had a great time. We send much love to all of you.

Caroline is so adorable; and her social skills are so like her Mommy. Lauren, I remember you used to beg me every day to go to school. You cried if it wasn't a "school day", and you had to stay home with me!

Love you,
