We've been having lots of fun here in our household!! We were trying to pack in lots of fun stuff before the new school year began, which was today!!!
We've done lots of bike rides! I'm so very proud of Miss Macy!! She did her first big "bike adventure" with us last week!! Jack graduated to the tandem bike (no more trailer - yay!) and she rode her bike along with me and Chris! She did the entire 8.5 miles!! It was only at the last 1/2 mile that she started to complain of being exhausted!! I'm so proud of her for going so far! We only did a short 4.5 mile trail this past weekend. She got tired out faster on that one, it had a lot more hilly areas!
Yesterday, we went to the Phila Zoo. We always have a nice time there! We even got to meet the Slowsky's! Here's a pic for all the Comcast commercial fans!!
Those commercials always crack me up!
Today, Macy started 1st grade!! She's been so excited for the last few weeks! She just loves school! I hope it stays that way! This year she'll have homework every night plus spelling tests weekly! They also get their very own desk instead of sitting 4 kids to a round table!! She made herself up some homework sheets last night! haha!!
Here she is this morning. It's good I got this picture, she was in such a hurry to get into school that I didn't have time to snap a picture of her going up the steps!
And, in scrapping news, I didn't make the cut for the Memory Makers Masters 2009 contest. It's all good though! I know they like me!! While we were down the shore, they requested another layout for their Jan/Feb issue!! One of these years the honor will be mine!
Here is my "I Believe" layout that I had to send in to them.
Work is going well. I am officially on my own now, done orientation! I had a total of 6 days of orientation! That comes out to one day for each year that I was gone! LOL It's all coming back to me now and I enjoy working the 2 days a week!
Have a great week!

Love your photo of your daughter's first day. I see the Slowsky's Comcast commercials all the time here in the Detroit area. Too funny!
