So far, not so good...Well we had 2 days of school last week and both of those went really well. Then that pesky Tropical Storm Fay moved in and we missed the last 3 days of the week. We went back yesterday and the excitement of kindergarten has already worn off. Allison has had 2 pretty tough days this week. She cried quite a bit yesterday and then was really crying this morning when I dropped her off. Poor Anne. She had the job of trying to walk her from the car and into school and had to leave her sitting in her class line while she was still upset. I almost feel worse for Anne because I KNOW how hard that job is. I went up there today to see her for lunch and we had some more tears. She is trying so hard to be my brave girl but she says it's just so hard. She misses me while she is there and she says she has to be there for SO LONG MOM!! If she only knew that she has years and years of this ahead of her. But we are going to try to start out on the right foot tomorrow and hopefully things will go better for her.

Trying to cheer her up before we left this morning.



Here a few from last week during the storm. To hell with wind and rain, we are going out. I can't take 3 days of being stuck in the house. So it was basically 3 days of playdates with a bunch of rain.


By Thursday it started to get pretty nasty. Luckily our neighborhood never lost power though.

We did a lot of Guitar Hero to pass the time.

Carlie and Parker spent the day with us too. We lost a tree on the side of the house. They just had to run out there in the rain to check it out.

This is what our pond should normally look like.


The girls checking out our overflowing pond. Allison said "Uncle Randyhead should bring his boat here!".

It just kept getting higher and higher!


We went downtown over the weekend for dinner. Here is one of the girls in front of the Andrew Jackson statue...for whom Jacksonville is named...
