School Daze

Giving daddy a good-bye kiss on the first day!


Marco wants to go too!


Ready to go!


I started school!!! I LOVE it! I go to St. Christina's cath-o-lic school. My teacher's names are Miss Deacy (like D.C.) and Mrs. Costello. They are really nice. I also have two other teachers, Miss Delfina, who teaches us Spanish, and Miss Amanda, who makes me eat my fruit snack.

I go FIVE times a week, all day. Mom says it's a long week for me and that I'm crabby at the end of the week. I don't agree. I'm never crabby!

I wear a uniform (see above) which I like okay. Mom says it's easy to get dressed in the morning. I have shorts I can wear when it's warm and next spring I will have a dress. The hat hurts my ears but mom says I have to wear it. I don't understand why because it just hangs on my "julia m" hook all day.

There are three Julia's and a Juliette in my class. There is also a Julian. My new best friend at school is Isabella H. We walk to school together. We both like to paint and play outside on the playground. My second week (this past week) I got smacked in the nose with the teeter-totter. I cried but I was okay. Some boy smacked me with it. It was an accident.

This week will be my third week at school. We only go until 1pm everyday. Next week we go until 3. Mom says she's living for next week. I didn't realize she liked school too.

I think I'm going to have a good year.

Summer Snapshot!!!!

This summer we went to California for six whole weeks!! We did all sorts of fun things. We visited family, we swam, we visited friends, and we traveled! We went to Sacramento, to Donner Lake and to Santa Cruz!! We got to enjoy all the things we miss about home, especially our family and friends and really good weather!

Marco learned to run really fast this summer too! He likes to swim and to run run run! He misses Auntie Julie and Uncle Jim's pool! I miss my nana, my nonno and nonna and all my cousins, an, the pool. I liked going to Donner Lake and Santa Cruz. I LOVED the beach!
