First Day of Pre-school

Today was Nick's first day of pre-school. He was all excited and ready to go until of course we got in the classroom and he froze. He was a little intimidated by all the kids and when the teacher took him away from me- he freaked out! But I left quickly and according to them- after the first couple minutes he then had a blast. He was happy when I went to pick him up and had to show me his papers. So, hopefully then next few drop offs go a little better. Thursday- it's daddy's turn.

House Progress

Well, less than 8 weeks and our house will be done! Currently they are installing the wood flooring today. Here is a picture of the outside of it.

Vacation

Our family vacation was a trip to LaCrosse Wisconsin to see my sister and family. We left Thursday night and stayed in Ames to break up the drive a little. Arrived on Friday afternoon. The kids played well the entire time- had a few spats- but nothing too bad. We hung out at Beth and Mike's house most of the time. Took the kids to the children's museum and then Sunday we all went on a boat cruise on the Mississippi. It was a nice trip and good time.

Kids

A couple random pictures of the kids. I took Nick to the firestation for the 3rd time so he could play on the firetrucks. He says he is going to be a firefighter when he grows up- we'll see! The others are just Emily being cute.
