School photo day

Today, O had his school photo day, so we picked out one of our favorite shirts that he wears on occasion, a good ole guayabera.  I put mine on out of solidarity, though I could use a shave...

New House!

We have just signed on the dotted line to buy a new house in the next month!  Below are photos, in case you're interested.  We won't be moving far, as it is right across the street from us.  Claudia's sister, Sonja, and her family will be buying our house and become our new neighbors :)!

Closing will happen sometime in late October, so please schedule your visit soon!

And now this guy!

After two days home sick with an ear infection, O started his last year of pre-K on Wednesday.  He's back to being his normal, happy self:

First Day!!

The First Day finally arrived yesterday!  R and S started at the elementary school 3 blocks from our house and had a great time.  Below are the requisite first day photos, including before and after...

Happy to heading out of the house!

Unpacking backpacks and loading their lockers for the first time.

Ms. Warner poses with them.  She was also Alex's K teacher.

Cousins catch up after school.  The first of many after school hangouts, without a doubt!

At long last...

After 11 months of silence, I figured it was time to move Rafa's self-mutilated image down the blog a slot, while at the same time, providing new images of the "triplets," who have all just successfully completed another year of life on Earth.

The twins start kindergarten on Monday, and O starts 5-day-a-week preschool for the first time on Monday, too, so we will have some first day of school photos up shortly thereafter.  Have a great weekend all!
