As you can guess, we've been busy with other tasks & paperwork in the home office these days. But I'll catch up on the blog eventually. Ariel is in her second day of kindergarten today. She had a good time there yesterday with new friends and teachers. We had one last day of swimming in a big outdoor pool on Labor Day before school started.
As I'm sitting here finding bargains on "big sister" books for Ariel on Amazon, I will give a hint for her Christmas wish list: lift-the-flap books (fun for everyone!) and small Thomas trains. She has a great train table we found used. It's has small wooden trains & vehicles, but is compatible with small wooden Thomas trains. They're the kind with the faces on the front (Thomas, Percy, Emily, etc.) She would be pleasantly surprised.
