First Day of School

Yep, that is my little boy all grown up and going to school! We started kindergarten last week, which is beyond weird. He enjoys it, although he says that he misses his preschool where he could scribble scrabble. Now he has to color in the lines. He doesn't like coloring in the lines, apparently.

In other news, I'm not really sure where this blog place is heading. I'm obviously not in London anymore and thus my life is slightly less glamorous (or was it only me who pretended my life in London was glamorous?). Either way, I'll go out on a limb and say "stay tuned" even though I don't know for what you should stay tuned.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Well, a lot like Christmas since it's 2 weeks away.

Here is Wiley at his school's Christmas party. They did a dance that followed the plot of the Snowman, and they sang sweet songs complete with jingle bells. And then Santa came and sang about how busy he is and did a little rap. Yeah. 5 brownies were later consumed by Wiley, and we crashed hard later that day.

Our Christmas tree! Nothing feels more like Christmas time than when you have your lights on, Christmas music on and you are with your little family.

In other news, we are just waiting. I need to get in the mindset of "December 29th" is the day. (It is, by the way). I'm currently in "Any day now!" mindset which while true, kind of just makes you more crazy than is really necessary. My bag has been packed and re-packed and I'm feeling good about that. I had Wil take a picture of me with my belly so that I could remember the end of it/I think there are maybe 5 pictures of me being pregnant this entire past 9 months. After looking at them, I was reminded why we don't take pictures of ourselves when 9 months pregnant.

Hope you and your family are enjoying the season!

It goes something like this...

Driving home from church yesterday,we ask Wiley about what he did during his class. Here is what he said...

us: Wiley, what did you do during church?
Wiley: I know. (which means I don't know)
Us: You don't know? Well, did you sing?
Wiley: Yes. I sing wonderful song.
Us: Oh, what wonderful song did you sing?
Wiley: Baa Baa Black Sheep. (pause) It goes something like this...(and he proceeds to sing Baa Baa and the Wheels on the Bus).

We were so tickled when he said "it goes something like this..." We can't figure out where he heard that phrase, either!

Here are some pictures (notice the new, very short hair cut):
