First Day of School 2015

Busy Bee Kindergartner and 2nd Grade Pirate in the house!

Dude, you're only in 2nd grade. MANY more of these to come boy! You cannot be "over" Mommy taking 1,000 pictures already!

 One last hug...deja vu from two years ago with our first Busy Bee Kindergartner!

 Yes, we're unprepared walkers this morning...caught in the Down.Pour! Perfect timing...funny fun!

Classy

First Day Picts in what will be the Incredible Shrinking Shirts (each year).  :)

Mini Golfers

I'm pretty sure the only thing they'll be "driving" is Brett crazy! But they sure do look the part! ⛳ Cuties!

Shenendoah Children's Museum

A fun little place to play!

MRES Open House

Always fun at Mill Run! It was Open House today for our kindy and 2nd grader. I'm not sure who had more fun seeing all their friends and being in school again- the kids or me! SO excited!!  
❤❤❤ our school!

Tinkering Around

The kids are home with us, as this is their last official week of summer (Sylvie starts "real school" this year too- Oh My!)  They've played so nicely today.  Sylvie often still plays so quietly and nicely by herself.  She came down to my office to show me what she'd been working on. She built this Tinker Toy dog.  Nice work, sister!

Ouchie Oreja (Ear)

On Thursday, Brady told us his ear hurt.  But he was still diving, swimming, jumping, and being a crazy kid.  So we didn't think much of it.  On Friday he hardly went in the pool and kept saying his ear bothered him a little.  I should have followed up on it then and taken him to the doctor that day to allow for antibiotics to work on his developing ear infection.  Friday night, he woke from sleeping crying from the pain.  :(  We went to see the doctor on the resort on Saturday after breakfast.  He could not clear Brady to fly b/c of the potential of his ear drum bursting.  He directed us to the ER.  There was quite the flurry of activity as Brett and his parents cleaned out our room and packed and I escorted the kids (via "medical transport") to a hospital in Playa del Carmen.  We thought for a while that the boys would have to remain in Mexico for another day.  Sylvie, Grandma, Papa, and I headed to the airport and prepared to leave.  My heart was sick.  ugh.  I did not want to leave the boys in a foreign country and go home without them.  My heart Sang when we looked up from where we were eating lunch in the airport to see Brett and Brady walking toward us!  The ENT at the hospital packed his ear with some gauze, gave him some antibiotic drops and Motrin, and cleared him to fly!  YAY!  We all came home together!  :)

  Passing time @ el hospital

  Giant lolli and a car...duty-free, of course!

Let's go HOME!
