school days are back...

today was my first day at my new school. i will be attending riverchase day school in hoover. mommy is really excited about my new teacher, mrs susan. she has special training to help me with learning to write. more responsibilities will be expected of me this year. i will have to carry my own school bag to class. my curriculum will be more structured & the subject matter will be more difficult. some of the units we will study include the following: the solar system, geography of our country & the world, life sciences & the election process. oh yeah -- but first, we will all learn how to be friends & follow the rules!

following school, we came back to our house. i had such a great day at school that mommy gave me ice cream as a reward! the days are getting cooler now, so we sat on the patio to eat ice cream. what a great day!!

i love the beach!

we returned home from panama city beach about a week ago, but we have continued to keep busy. so here are some pictures from our beach trip. i LoVeD the beach!!

we also enjoyed other beachy activities like putt-putt golf. i did a good job of taking turns with daddy & mommy. i even made a couple of hole-in-ones!!

we stayed at the aqua again this year. they have a really nice pool. our beach-time routine was usually the same... sunscreen, beach, pool, back to the room.

feeding the seagulls is always fun! we fed them my "oh's" cereal. i think they liked it pretty well.

several days i would play in the waves until the sun had set (then we'd still go up to the pool!) oh!! i can NOT wait to go back!!

this little girl earns her keep...

here are some pictures from my working-wednesday with mommy. i helped her to sweep the back patio. then we also moved off all the patio furniture & took it downstairs to wash! whew!! i worked really hard!

having fun outside...

here are some pics from an outdoor playtime. the computer is acting up, so hopefully daddy can help to post today's pictures very soon. i was a big helper to mommy today, and i can't wait to tell you all about it!!
