Back to school... for everyone

This was a month of first days of schools!  Kara had her first day of first grade on Thursday, August 18th.  Kara is really excited to start another year of school.  Emily had her first first day of school this year on August 31st.  She is starting preschool at the Rec Center, which meets for a few hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning.  That means...  Mom actually has time to herself on a regular basis!  So exciting!

Mimi came out to visit us for a couple of weeks this month.  We got to hit all kinds of sites around the city.  We hit the Celestial Seasonings factory, Denver Museum, which was awesome as always, the Hammond Candy factory, the Denver Aquarium, and afternoon tea at the Huckleberry.  It was quite the whirlwind visit!

Kara started playing soccer with some of her friends from teeball.  So far she's having fun, but it's mostly just a bunch of the girls running around after the ball.  But she's having a blast!  Kara also lost her 3rd tooth.  We think she looks pretty cool with the gap in her smile.  :-)
