Kindergarten!

Anna started Kindergarten yesterday. We are all so excited to start this new chapter. She doesn't have a lot of familiar faces in her class, but there are a few boys from preschool that are with her. She would want me to mention that they do not have snack time and recess is a little crowded for 2 classes, there is only a very small park to share. Her classroom has a fish tank and a gerbil, which are the first thing she told us about.

Happy haircuts!

Handsome Calvin got a haircut. His first. He's so handsome.

Actually the girls got haircuts too. Quite a day. 

Kindergarten starts tomorrow!

Anna G.

We thought we did a pretty great job naming Anna. We thought it was a nice, common, but not too common name with solid background. When she was 6 months old we moved into our house and next door there was an older girl named Anastasia, whose family calls her Ana. A few months after we moved in the neighbors across the street had a baby girl and named her Anna. Our neighbors on the other side got a dog about 3 years ago and she is called Annie/Anna.

Today we went to Back-To-School night and found that there will be 3 Anna's in her kindergarten class.

She may be "Anna G." for quite a while.

One year old(er)?

I had a birthday, shout hooray!

1 year old!

He also got clothes and toys from his Grammas and Grampa and he's just super happy all the time.

HR dispute

Who do I talk to about sick days? Who is my HR person? Union leader?  Boss? We need to organize better moms.

Do we have any retaliation for terrible haircuts that make us look like Bon Jovi?
