This year Gillian is going to Camp Briar Hill with John this summer. She is super excited. For the younger grades, they do pre-camp barbecue. It gives the kids a chance to meet the other kids in their group and check out the camp. Gillian was very excited. And John was too. He couldn’t wait to show… Continue reading Camp BBQ
I took Gillian to a birthday party yesterday at My Gym. Basically it is an indoor gym for little kids. They have a trampoline and a ball pit. They play a few games with the kids and at the end all the kids get to go on a zip line. Gillian was the fourth kid to go. She… Continue reading The Zip Line
Yesterday Gillian told us “We learned about owls today. And did you know owls sleep during the day and are awake at the night time?” I asked her “Do you know what that is called?” She said “Ummm, I think so.” But before she could think of it John shouted “Nocturnal. It’s nocturnal, Gill.” She… Continue reading Owls and Sharks
Gillian graduated from Preschool today. To celebrate, we decided to take her to get her ears pierced. Well, I wanted to get her ears pierced. She was a little nervous about it, but felt better when I told her that I would get matching earrings. She was very brave when we went to the store. … Continue reading Pierced Ears
I brought Gillian to work with me today. She was due for her annual physical and I figured it was easier to bring her to work instead of dropping her off at school after her appointment.

We only knew that the line was short and it had something to do with Belle. After waiting forever (well it… Continue reading Enchanted Tales with Belle
Gillian had her annual checkup scheduled for yesterday. Yesterday morning, Gillian and I waited with John at the bus stop. She cried when he got on the bus, “Where they taking my Johnny?” I explained to her that he was going to school and we would see him later. She didn’t understand. But we got in the car… Continue reading Gillian well visit
Today was John’s first day of First Grade. John woke up early and we told him to get dressed. I had a collared shirt and khaki shorts picked out for John to wear for his first day. John got dressed and I went to help him find socks and he was wearing a completely different… Continue reading First day of First Grade
We drive past St. Leo’s church everyday on our way to school. Every year they have a fair in June. The kids have watched the rides slowly assemble and every morning as we drive past, I hear “Can we go tonight?” This week has been a little busy for us, so last night was the… Continue reading St. Leo’s Fair
