Emma is off to kindergarten and she could not be more excited! Tate on the other hand doesn't quite understand why she is gone everyday. Noelle and Bergen have been going to school most of his life, but Emma has always been his buddy while the other's were gone. He asks me everyday, "where Emma goes?" I tell him that she is at school now. He then says, "me too, mom". He misses her, I miss her. I am not sad though. It is so much fun to see her having such a great time. She is such a great kid. Have a great year Emma!

Yesterday while at the park I tried my best to get a half decent picture of all the kids. HA, ha! Instead of a nice family picture, this is what I got! Everyone starts out semi co-operating, but just as you think you have it someone turns silly. Trying to recover after that is a losing battle. Now everyone is getting frustrated and as soon as my dear sweet Noelle has discovered that she can control the situation, it's game over. But that's o.k as punishment for her lack of co-operation, I will be showing picture # 2 to all potential boyfriends as she gets older!
One Of Our Favorite Places
We love Beacon Hill park. It is one of our favorite places to go. The petting zoo is always a big hit! I had a doctors appointment in Victoria yesterday, so we decided to spend the day down there as a family. We had some errands to do but afterwards we went to the park. My favorite animals to see are the baby potbelly pigs. The kids love the goats, of course, because you can get right in there and pet them. Normally we go in the spring when the baby goats are pretty new. This time it was more like a bunch of adolecent boys. The goats were all over the place. Head butting each other, jumping and running around like maniacs. It was hard to get very close to any of them because of this. Still very enteraining to watch. As we left the goat area, we hear Tate saying something over and over. He is saying, "crazy goats, crazy goats." It was a very fun way to spend the day!
