1st day!

First day of 1st grade in a new school went great! Her response when I picker her up was " It is pretty much like kindergarten you just do things at a different time" She shares a locker & table with her bff Taylor and she is thrilled. So happy for her.

Such a big girl! Very proud of her

Walking my baby to 1st grade (w/Geisha hair and a mumu on of course I apologized to her for my appearance while walking in but at 6am after all summer geesh that was the best I could come up with)

Book Club!!!

Excited for our Sister~Wine Book Club to start! I started our 1st book while the kids swam with Daddy at the pool and pretended we were on vacation in Nantucket (where the story is based out of & Brooke I have decided we will visit one day and stay at a B&B and pretend we are at our summer home)

So far I am already hooked and excited for our in- person wine discussions and when that is not possible (the other sister lives in the "city" Dallas) we will Skype and discuss the pages we have read over the wine of the week. Very exciting stuff!

To Be Continued....

We officially have a 1st grader!!!

Next week is the start of 1st grade!!!! Made me think back to when Mae Mae (not supposed to call her that anymore) started preschool in front of our old house. Ryan & I have had such great times with her. Our life was simple and happy! She has brightened our life and made us who we are today. I remember driving to the airport to go to the Bahamas and crying that I would miss her and Eric saying " well of course she is not just your daughter she is your best friend" that is very true she has been with me since I was a kid myself at 18 and has grown with me and made me a mother and a better person. I am so grateful for this little girl and so proud of my 1st grader!!!!!

First Day of Preschool

My best friend!!!!

Heaven Gained Another Angel on Sunday 08-07-11

My Grandpa Manny Olvera passed this past Sunday. He was 82. Of course when a family member passes it puts life in perspective and makes you realize how short life really is. When you are younger you think well at least he was older but I think in your spirit you are always the same person and never fully ready or prepared to leave this earth.

I was telling Ryan that I am more afraid of death because it is inevitable. I feel the same way about pregnancy. There is no way around it that baby has to come out eventually and that is final. I have been thinking back on the house in Santa Maria we used to visit so often as a child. He was a good father to my mom and was always there for her when she needed him. He would always answer the phone the same way to me "Hi Jules how the weather?" I will miss him and I am sorry I did not make it in time to see him before he got ill. He is an angel in heaven that I know I will see again one day.

RIP Grandpa
