First Day of Pre-K! EEEK AAAAAAAAAAAAAK

I CANNOT believe our little babies are going to school!

We went to an open house on Friday, so that we bring all the supplies, see the classroom and meet their teacher:



And today we actually had to drop them off. At school. Can you believe it? :) They actually did really well: there was no crying when we left. I, on the other hand could barely hold it together. And then Mike made me drive to work by myself :) All this time when I was hoping and wishing for a day when I would have a quiet drive to work without having to referee 72 fights in the back seat over the course of 20 minutes... it was quiet all right... and today I wished it were not.. :) But all went well. Pre-K. I can't believe it!

We were on Vacation!

I'd like to blame the delay in posting to the technical difficulties I experienced with my awesome slideshow last night, but that would only account for half a day of the delay. We spend 2 and half very relaxing weeks in Bulgaria, and came back over 2 weeks ago ! In the meantime, our bag was hopelessly lost and miraculously recovered, we have had cement trucks in the driveway and climbed over construction workers and through a hole in the fence to get to work while our driveway and drink-wine-at-night side porch was being built. And now Vasco appears to have croup. Which, he is dealing with with a totally angelic disposition, even though he can't stop coughing. And he melted my heart this morning when I said "Vasco, I'm so sorry you have this cough", and he replied "It's okay, mommy".
Anyway, my slideshow is cooperating. Enjoy! Part I:
