First day of school!














Greetings!
It finally arrived.  The weeks of hype and talking about all the fun to be had set the stage for Elsa and Jonas's first day of school.  We think they were still expecting us to go to school with them and kept saying, "Daddy is coming to school too?".  Dan dropped them off at their school.  As they entered the classroom, Dan scanned the room for the teacher and by the time he looked down, Jonas was already at a table playing with a truck.  Elsa had a little rougher time and is gradually warming up to the idea of formal education.  They had a great time once the nerves wore off and we are so proud of their hard work this week.

This weekend we took a trip to Remlinger Farm.  This is no ordinary farm mind you.  It is a farm with a special focus on young kids.  They have lots of rides and entertainment specifically for babies to about five or six year olds.  It was great.  We rode on a train, a canoe, a fire engine, a school bus, an antique car...wow it is already a long list and there are more!  Elsa kept asking to drive the antique car and Jonas loved the train! We met up with friends and had a great stress free time at an amusement park!  

We also ran into a former nurse of ours from the ICN (this is the nursery that we moved to after leaving NICU).  Mari remembered that the nurse we ran into had told her to stay patient because we were "waiting for our masterpieces".  Good memories and good people!

God Bless,

Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
