Noah started his first day of Kindergarten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was flawless.  Jungle Java provided the coffee and food for the kinder comfort so I was up and at it by 5:30 am.  Since I cut all my hair off(yep-pics to come later) it is a breeze to get ready.  Most of you know I always had short hair up until about 1997.  It is just too hot for long hair.  Anyway I digress.  I got everything set up in the cafeteria trying not to get in the way of the TV camera crew that was at the school at 6:30.  Teravista is a new school and they were doing a special on new schools  in RR and most specifically Teravista.  Then I was off to pick up G-ma, dad, Cooper and Noah to take NOah to school.  Cooper was actually the first one up this morning(after me and mom).  We walked Noah in and he took to it like a duck to water.  I guess it was all that Stepping Stone and other preschools that prepared him.  Mom and I came back again at lunch time to help the newbies with their lunches and opening things(milk cartons, applesauce, etc.).  I got to spend time with Noah and the other kids we know from Stepping Stone, neighborhood, and our JJ regulars.  It was fun to see everyone.  After school we picked Noah up at the front door and that was a GOOD thing.  HOLY cow the driver pick up line was son long that some of those mom’s sat in the line for quite a while.  Rachel and I had a nice long chat while she waited in the car pick up line to get Taelyn.  I had come home had a snack, Gregg showered(again), and then drove all the way to Sam’s club by the time she got Tae.  I will definitely be picking Noah up at the front door until they get that line manageable.  Noah had fu although he didn’t want to discuss what he learned.  He had a slight fever last night and an hour after we got him home from school it spiked.  It is better now and he ate 6 nuggets and some of his shake and temp wis feels much better. 

Tonight is the last night that G-ma is in town..  We are going to miss her and I am going to miss her cooking.  The boys didn’t realize that she was leaving tomorrow and a part of hopes she gets held up with this fiasco happening at the airports.   I know she wants to get back home to bu,pa though so we hope not too strongly.

The Jungle Java ads have hit the mailers.  Gregg and I sent some out today by hand but our mass mailing hit the hoods today.  We had one mom call very excited.  She is going to email the 300 people in her mailing lists.  I love it when other moms get so excited.  Did I metnion the nice plug we got at our school for donating the treats today.  We also gave each of the teachers at TVE a free pass so they can bring their kids.  Things are going so well.  Thanks to Laurel for helping train our new staff.  We got some GREAT hires this time around.  Not to say our last batch was bad but our new group is proving to be a great asset, especially since we lost some day time help due to school.  OUr grnd opening is around the corner and I’m sure will be big.

I have been really bad about posting pictures but that is because I blog from my laptop and the picture program is on the computer upstairs.  I have to actually go up there to do this.  I will get up there one day.  For now I am busy with the JJ, my PTA chair(homeroom parent) and getting Noah and the family ready for school.  I do promise I will get up there.

A BIG Happy Birthday to my cousin Jacque!  I don’t know where in the world you are but I hope you are somewhere fabulous for your birthday(Bimini, Canary, Germany,  Spain, Mexico or where ever.)  Congratulations to Jessica for being named a partner in your firm and for the upcoming birth of your baby.  I can’t wait until we find out the sex.  I hope you and Al have a boy this time!

PS Dad I am going to call you soon but it always seems the time difference gets in our way.  I am up by 6 am 7 your time, ouch I know.  Gregg and Noah are coming to town WEd.-Sun for the U of M home opener.  I will be back for the MSU game with or without family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hope the house in Naples weathered the storm and I will call you son.  Gotta get the boys away from that silly show wipeout and put them to bed.

Nighty night to all our new school age children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
