First day of school

It’s hard to believe Jordan started school. 3 days a week for 3 hours, he will be at VBS. The first week, the Moms stay, but next week he is on his own!

This is always his expression after we take pictures now. He cant wait to “see it” (i.e., the picture we just took)

The report was good so far. Apparently, the mac n cheese Mommy made him was the highlight.

He was the last one eating.

And then he left day 1 in style:

Wish us all good luck next week when Mommy leaves him (she’ll be in the next room at first)!

Car love

Toy cars or real cars, it really doesn’t matter. This kid can spend hours studying their wheels. He knows every car brand based on someone he knows who drives one. (I.e., Amy’s car) (our neighbor drives a Blazer so when he sees one somewhere else he yells it out.) Pretty much anytime he sees a Prius he says “Daddy’s car” (not Poppy’s car anymore!), and when he sees a Lexus, it’s “Daddy’s old car.” If you’d like to spend 2 minutes witnessing the love (obsession?), click here:

Trying to stay cool

After a “mild” summer we’ve had about a week of 100-ish heat in the valley. The city hasn’t been much better. I think the heat came because too many people talked openly about what a mild summer it’s been. So we escaped to Marina Del Rey over the weekend to stay near the water where it was about 20 degrees cooler (we even had to put sweatshirts on). We rode the water bus, which is a great $1 boat ride that tours the whole Bay. Jordan mostly wanted to get back to see more of the Lighthouse on the shore.

Happy New Year to all.
