First Day of School!!

Thursday was the first day of school for all four kids.  We made four stops during our grand tour of the Mountain Lakes schools.  First, Lisa walked Nina across the street at 8:00 to Briarcliff School for her first day of middle school.  Then, by 8:15 we were in Stephen's classroom at Wildwood for his introduction to first grade (David walked separately to Wildwood  -- too cool for us -- guess that's what happens when you hit 5th grade).  Next it was off to Scribbles preschool where the action got undeway for Matthew at 8:50.  That was quite a morning, and it's sure to be quite a year.  Check out the pictures.

Ocean City 2007

We have just returned from a beautiful and fun-filled week in Ocean City.  The weather was absolutely perfect, and the kids never seemed to get tired of the water, sun and sand.  There was lots of great company, too.  Olivia and Christina were there for the entire week, Cathy and Dick for half the week, and Emily, Mia and Mia's friend, Taylor, for the other half of the week.  Enjoy the pictures, which you'll notice are conspicuously lacking in adults . . .

Project -- Three Months In

Here are some pictures showing the state of our home renovation project just before we left on vacation.  A lot was accomplished while we were gone, and I will post pictures of the current state soon.  Progress is steady, but somewhat slow, although the pace picked up considerably while we were on the beach.  While writing this post, I have realized there are now pictures of the master bath.  I'll include those in my next project update.
