First day of school

We're only running about six weeks behind. I guess that's an improvement.

Despite the apparent grimace, Leah was actually pretty happy to return to Millersville. She just has trouble saying cheese without appearing to growl. They found her missing green fidget during the construction work over the summer, and that was a very happy reunion. She was happier to see green fidget than she usually is to see me.


It felt like Lauren and Maddie were going to be ready for first grade by the time they were finished starting kindergarten. We had orientations, conferences, staggered start days, Labor Day, and on and on. Both are enjoying the fact that their buddies from preschool, Aislinn and Lucas, are in their class this year. Maddie also seems to have befriended most of the boys in the class, and asked me a couple of weeks ago if she can have her new friend Anthony over for a slumber party. It was also interesting to hear that the three major criers during the first week or two were all boys. Apparently one would say,, "Do you miss your mommy?" and that would get them all going. Remember that, anyone who is tempted to call women the weaker sex.
