B's First Day Originally uploaded by smaynor I can't believe my little man is off to 3K. He had a great day, playing with his friend Kharis and eating a snack (that's about all I got out of him.)

first day of kindergarten Originally uploaded by smaynor M started kindergarten today. That's about all I can say without crying. The whole start of school hip hoorah has been a mainstay in my August repretoire since my days at Hillside Nursery School, but I think this year was probably the toughest. No lesson plans, no class lists, no bulletin boards - just a cute, snazzy five year old who often says, "May I do it myself, Mom?" Tomorrow is B's first day of 3K.

Another person in my family entered the pearly gates this past week. My uncle, just a mere 52, joined Brian, my dad, my grandfather, and many, many others in our Home. Oh, how it makes me want to be there! Max and I discussed this event, and as I explained it to him, I said, "You know how Mommy sometimes cries because I miss Daddy...." and before I could finish, he said, "Yes, and Aunt Linny will cry, too, because she'll miss Uncle Mark."
