1st Day

They BOTH have the Daddy side-grin!

Salem and her teacher, Mrs. Savtora (she's French.) Oh, and some annoying classmate who never let up on the crying...seriously...get a load of yourself kid..what r u 3 or something!??

It has been a challenging week around here. Salem started preschool 2 days per week..... and I'm not sure how I feel about this. Mixed feeling is a better way to describe it. I love her going because she loves it and is all around ready to be in a school environment; however, I am struggling with her not being in arms length away from me. It's a WONDERFUL, local, montessori school... and other than me not being "right there" if need be, I don't have any other complaints. She goes 5 hours twice a week, and even gets in an hour of gymnastics on Thursday mornings ( one of the high-roller families @ the school paid for ALL the kids to have this every week ALL year long!!!.. CRAZY! Meaning.... they pay the local gym facility to come to the school for lessons and utilize the gymnasium equipment THEY bought the school!) We're very grateful for this, for we forfeited this extracurricular activity when Tavin came along.

Other than that, we're all around crazy-busy... as we all are! My mom is flying in tomorrow, girls night out in the PM (with some bowling action), my Lance Armstrong Team olympic triathlon is in Austin on Monday, brother coming to town Tuesday, driving to Arlington next weekend to watch my cousins Texas Ranger baseball game, home for a few days, then flying to

LA for the weekend after that. HOLLY COW!!! Not to mention the IronMan is approaching at a hight rate of speed & training is kicking into high gear!!! Life is good, life is good.... I can't complain a bit... Other than I still wish I had a nanny to do complete random tasks that I don't feel like doing. Oh, and one that would work for under minimum wage is also preferred!

Tavi is busy motoring around these days and getting into anything his fat-rollie hands can get into! He is also cutting teeth...that's all I'm going to say about that!
