A Brand New School Year, A Birthday, A Baptism, and the Best Mom Ever

How is that for a title?  This past week, hands down, was the BIGGEST week of my career as a mother.  We sent the kids off to school, including Miss Megan. She made her debut at Stratton as a kindergartner.  Conor started 2nd grade.  We picked my mom up from the airport for a 6 (blessed) day visit, celebrated Conor's 8th birthday and planned and held his baptism.

It was a week full of emotions.

We have good taste! I love that backpack. We have the matching lunch box too, but it's not designed as well as other lunch boxes....

Great to hear from you!

Mom looks so tan! I bet that was heaven. It is always way too short when I see her. We get to see her tomorrow at Kate's baptism. It's snowing outside just FYI. =)
