Back to School

It blows my mind that i have both a 
second grader and a kid in kindergarten. 
I really don't feel like I am old enough to 
be a responsible parent of two kids in school. 

Ava was super excited. 
Excited to see old friends and meet new ones. 
Ready to learn the routine of Mr Cooper's class,
see her locker, go to art class...be a big kid. 
She came home and talked for an hour straight. 

Luca was nervous. 
He was quiet at drop off
but stood in line and wore a brave face,
marching off with his Batman backpack.
He didn't share too many details but 
said there were some cool kids and 
wants to go back tomorrow. 
For now, that's enough. 

Me, I'm a proud mama. 

Four months at home without kids
until we start this crazy chaos all over
with diapers and daycare and little sleep. 
I say I am going to organize my house, my photos, my life...
get my s**t together before the next one comes,
but we all know me...

Maybe some take out, daytime tv and a nap.

kind, curious, independent
a fabulous big sister, 
ready to be a teenage.
slow down girl. 


my handsome five year old. 
funny, smart, sincere
still cuddles with his mom and dad,
lover of Legos and all things Superhero
love him

Five years at Meriter Children's Center

Jakeapolooza 3





being pregnant and sober apparently affects the 
amount of pictures taken. 
it was a cold weekend but quality people 
and lots of good times celebrating Jake.
