For Tara

It makes me sad b/c the last time i got a pedicure, it was with my dear friend tara. and we took cute little toes pictures afterwards. so tara, i wish the other foot in the picture was yours. love you. let us know if you hear anything about precious little naomi, whose birthday is thursday. she is so special. and super cute.

earnest luke, welcome to the world. can't wait to meet you. ian sure is going to have fun wrestling with you. better start lifting weights now so you can keep up with him. love you.



ian starts school TOMORROW!!!!! yikes. frisco does it where kindergarteners only go for an hour the first day (9-10) and the parents stay up there with the kids. then, tuesday, they go from 8-3, the normal school hours. that's a long day. ian's going to have a rude awakening going to school for that long. no more sleeping in. it's up with the sun. you too, grace. and sarah. and abby. yikes. scary thoughts. we met his teacher friday. now i didn't put an "!" point on that sentence as much as i thought i would. she's nice enough. she's about 8 months pregnant and she already seemed really tired after 1 hour. so ian will soon have a long term substitute and when the teacher finally does come back, it seems like she'll be tired and cranky from waking up in the middle of the night. i'm sure it will work out. ian and julie are in the same class, so they can stand up for each other. they'll do fine. i'm sure ian is going to love it and make lots of friends. if nothing else, he can run fast.

well, that's it for now. time to go make dinner. i'll keep everyone posted about how ian's handling school. as well as all the rest of us. bye now.

forgot to say that the massage, manicure, and pedicure was WONDERFUL. it was the perfect combination of relaxation (the massage) and girly gossip (the mani/pedi). it was so nice. and i got away for about 3 1/2 hours. that's pretty good for a mom. thank you, dear lovebug. it was super great. wish i had more time to give details. maybe on the next post.
