Relaxation before the madness begins

We just enjoyed 4 days in the mountains, relaxing, canoeing (that's a whole other post in itself), mini golfing, arcade game playing, bbqing, etc. before Allen heads back to teaching and Alex off to St. Monica's. The mountains were great, great weather, great house, great time overall. It was tough knowing the days were winding down until Tuesday when Alex would head off and I would try my best to keep it together. Allen was bummed because he had to be at work and couldn't be there to see him off. Alex kept insisting he was excited, that is until Monday night when he told me he was a little nervous. We assured him he would make lots of friends and love his teacher and it would be fine. He wants Manuel, from the Y, to come with him. He doesn't understand why everyone from his old school just can't come to the new one.

Monday-We got all his school supplies together and labeled them all. Laid out his uniform for the next morning. Made his snack, gave him a bath and made sure he headed off to bed at a decent time. No reading in bed tonight we told him, yeah I know I've got a big day tomorrow he replied. You sure do buddy!
