Theo had his belated birthday party on Saturday. Scooby Doo was the theme and the 10 kids enjoyed solving mysteries, eating Scooby Snacks and playing games. Theo loved his presents and the cake was a hit. The party reached a tipping point when the Mummy Game ran amok (see the video below) and the festivities were moved outside. Fortunately, the only thing cracked was our neighbors’ sanity.

Five-month-old Ella started solid food last week. Her first menu consisted of pureed pears, and after a little trial and error, she found that she loved the sweetness of the fruit. She moved to root vegetables the next day and has yet to stop eating. The beet goes on…

Theo started CP (First Grade) this morning at a new institution. Though he was nervous about making friends and the workload, he was excited to show off his tailored backpack. He did the five-minute walk to school with confidence and didn’t mind having to leave the family at the gate to find his classroom.
As Theo entered the building and a new scholastic era, Anne-Laure and I shared a moment of depression seeing him grow a little older. But this didn’t last long. When asked about school at lunch, Theo replied “It’s good, but we have to sit down all the time and there’s no toys.”

My good friend Deanna Wekerle attended a college-themed party Saturday night wearing this t-shirt. I designed the “Where I-40 ends…the party begins…” shirt when I was at UNCW. Hundreds of these shirts were sold and I made some descent cash.
In honor of this nostalgic moment, I’ve decided to skip work, drink cheap beer, listen to Drivin’ N Cryin’ and order a Domino’s student special…I may even steal a road sign later.

We just returned from spending two weeks at Alpe d’Huez. It was a nice family getaway and all of us needed it. Despite the constraint of a four-month-old, we were able to do plenty of hiking (though Ella’s stroller must now take early retirement). Afternoons were spent snoozing and reading (in lethargic mode) or swimming and tennis (in active mode). Alas, all good things must come to an end.
Reality awaits…
