A moment of silence

Let us all have a moment of silence in gratitude for the first day of the new school year on this 27th day of August. Most parents were at school shedding a tear or two for having to leave their kids; however, I was doing the happy dance! Ryan has been so ready for school that I couldn't be sad that he was going to kindergarten. I'm exited for him to go and learn and grow and meet new friends. What is so sad about that? He is so smart and social, I just want him to love school like I did.

So, I've been a little (okay a lot) out of the blogging world, so here's a run-down of the last 3 months, you'll just have to make up the pictures in your head as I am not going to take the time to update 3 months worth of snapshots:

*School ended :(
