I've kind of gotten a kick out of the comments from the last post saying that Jessica looks so excited waiting in line and all the other kids look nervous. Well here's what she really looked like before we caught her attention for the picture:
So far she is loving school, although there have been a few moments of drama and just plain tiredness from the full day (I'm still kind of annoyed by the full-day kindergarten thing).
In addition to just starting kindergarten, she just turned 5!! Michael and I decided that we'd only do a "friend party" every other year, in order to save our sanity. We were just going to celebrate as a family this year, but with the move and all the changes relating to that, we figured it might help Jessica to get to know a few of the kids better and have a special day for her. She decided on a "Pajama Party." Three of her little Primary buddies came to play games, decorate little pillows, and eat cupcakes - very low-key. But she had a blast and I'm glad we did it.
Even Chandler had a blast. :)
That evening Jessica and I have some girl time and went to a nearby mini golf place. She had a great time and has been asking to go back ever since.
Sunday (on her actual birthday) we did cake and presents. She was super excited when Michael brought out her new boogie board for the beach!
I've also realized that I haven't posted anything new about our little man for almost a month. Poor child. :) He is getting to be such a big guy and such a cutie! He had some jaundice hanging around at low levels (nothing at all dangerous), which made his eyes a little yellow, but luckily that's just about cleared out. Here's a few of our newest little man:
