Catching Up...

With the first week of school done...there is a little breathing room until Monday rolls around again. I need to "scrapbook" my pics on here as there has been a lot happening in this last week (so long post and pic overload.) I think I will go backwards and start with what we were up to today.

We went with my mom on her boat to an area where you have the creek on one side and the ocean on the other...it is actually beyond beautiful. It was so peaceful and Norah had fun in the water, finding shells, and helping Daddy as he caught two red fish...both keepers and our dinner for Sunday! (I love Norah wearing her shades!)

Last night we went to our friend's house for a little back to school party (2nd Annual)...after the super busy week...I was ready for a glass of wine! The kids had a blast on the slip and slide...it was a great night with awesome folks, delicious food, and good times!










Most importantly this first week of school makes Norah an official 2nd grader! I cannot believe it! She loves her teacher and class...and has been super excited to go to school each day (which makes me so happy!) She picked out her outfits for the first three days and of course I took a pic of her each morning! I love this girl to pieces and it was hard getting back to not being with her all day...I missed her so much!




And I had my first day of school...here is a pic of the teachers at our school they took this week during a teacher workday. This week was all about getting back in a routine of school (students and myself!) so that this Monday it can really crank into gear.


Before school started we had dinner at my aunt's house where she cooked up some crabs she had caught in her crab trap...they were yummy and it was a fun, relaxing night.














And Norah and I enjoyed one last beach day before school started with just the two of us (I am missing that time with her already!) We only stayed about 2 hours because the jelly fish were out!




Well tonight was family night and we went to dinner at Habanero's and then played UNO (which Norah won the most games!) Norah was so worn out that she put herself to bed tonight early. Now it is time for me to crash so I can get ready to do a zillion things tomorrow to prepare for a new week!
