1st Day of 1st Grade!!

Today was Sissy's first day of first grade! It's hard to believe my baby girl is in her second year of elementary school. Sissy was so excited to go back to school -- time with friends, learn new things and stay busy. I'm happy she has a few friends in her class from her Kindergarten class last year, and she loves her new teacher (although it will be hard to top her Kdg teacher).



Here's Sissy ready to go to school! Daddy, JT and I took her. Can we still walk her into school in middle and high school?

Her teacher seems very sweet and has a daughter in 1st grade as well...

GONNA BE A BEAR

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.

When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.

If you're mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

Yup, gonna be a bear!

I'm going to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle



Sissy got a new bike this week....a Big Girl Bike! She's been ready -- far out growing her tricycle. I was in hysterics watching her pedal the little tricycle around the block. Daddy decided it was time.








Sissy is doing great on her big bike. I wasn't ready for how grown up she looks riding it. But, she is starting 1st grade Monday.






JT got a new tricycle also! One with a handle that we can use to push him when needed -- very "handy". Or, you could call it a "wheelie bar" as seen here. He's having fun too. Thanks Daddy!

Happy Birthday King Daddy!




We love you!!





I'm a little late since Daddy celebrated his official birthday Saturday... Hopefully, he enjoyed the traditional cookie cake for his b-day, and his niece's tea party :).



We affectionately call Daddy, King David, since he's king of our household. As you can tell by the picture, he is lavished great gifts and luxury...NOT. The other reason to include this picture is Daddy's humor. He thinks he's funny. Okay, I hate to say, but he's right...he really is funny. We've been together for 18 years and he's still making me laugh. I think the humor and laughter in our relationship and home makes all the difference in our life. I look forward to many more birthdays, growing old together and making fun of each other. :)



Happy Birthday to My King and Soul mate...love u, Momma Wolg

From Sissy: Dad is funny. On your head is a bucket. I love you.

Here's Daddy at Ariel's Tea Party (Birthday). He got cake and a candle too. When asked if he was going to do something special for his birthday, Daddy said "you're looking at it."

Family of Six

The "Wolg-nuts" have gone from a family of four to a family of six. We adopted two kittens yesterday -- two brothers. I believe Sissy has named them Peter Pan and Captain Hook. I'm going to call them Pan and Hook for short, I think. They are 3 months old and adorable. As you can see, both are tabbies, but one is gray & black (Pan) and the other is brown & black (Hook). It's so nice to have purring in the house again. The kids are having fun with them, especially Sissy. They'll look forward to school starting so they can get some rest. Hee!
