Richie's first day of kindergarten

So it was a bitter-sweet experience, sending my oldest little-big guy off to big kid school. Richie was so excited to be starting Kindergarten at his new school, the Syracuse Arts Academy (as are we!) He had no problem today getting ready, and hustling off to get to school. I walked him into class today, as did most of the other parents, with their cameras, of course, so I wasn't the only Mom there snapping a million pictures! He settled right in when we got there, and when I gave him a hug and kiss goodbye, I think he actually turned around to catch a glimpse as to who may have seen it!! Oh boy!





Ohhh, my big boy now.

Our new bedroom set-YEA!

So when we finished the basement, we put our old bedroom furniture downstairs into the guest bedroom and got ourselves a new bedroom set. We were so excited to get furniture, because it was long overdue!

Hooray! Hooray! The basement is finally done!

So we have just finished our basement. It was a big project, and many many thanks go out to Gregg, Rich, Dad, Derrek, Dayna and all the others that helped out in getting it done. Gregg definately did the brunt of the work, and we can not thank him enough for all the many hours of hard work and sacrifice he put into it. THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!

Our fun summer

Ok, ok, so I have been such a huge slacker this summer when it comes to updating my blog!! So, sorry about that, for those that have been asking. So, now that the summer is coming to an end, and fall is just around the corner, we are starting a whole new chapter, with Richie starting school at the Syracuse Arts Academy, on the 24th of August. My baby is growing up! But that is a WHOLE nother blog! So for now, I will just post some highlights from our summer....enjoy!
