Well Emma started "Big Girl School" this week. She is in PK3 at St. Matthew's Episcopal School and absolutely loving it. Leaving Linda's after over 3 years was heartbreaking but we knew it was the right decision. After a week at home with Mommy waiting on school to start Emma didn't even blink one tear on Monday. Carlos and I brought her, gave her kisses and I waited until the parking lot to shed a tear. I was just sad that our baby is growing up. Carlos of course was perfectly fine, Men!
She is so excited every day and has adjusted well to the earlier morning routine. Today she showed me a balloon she made with four bows naming "favorite things". Her favorite color - Pink, Her favorite food - Chicken Nuggets, Her favorite activity at school - Playing in the kitchen, Her favorite activity at home - "Playing baby dolls". And of course, it's a pink balloon. That's my Princess!
Tomorrow is Show and Tell Day and we are to put items in a bag to bring and share with her friends. So far she has picked her favorite thing - Wiggles the bear, her favorite book "Fat Cat Sat on the Mat", her Mickey and Minnie from her vacation to DisneyWorld and her Wubbzy for her favorite cartoon. For Monday we have to decorate a poster all about her and her family to be displayed at school. Such Fun!

Back in Town
We are back from a weekend in Austin. Carlos had a meeting on Saturday so Emma and I tagged along. While Carlos was "working" Emma and I checked out the Archivers scrapbook store, Toys R Us, Old Navy and Barnes and Noble. After a nice long nap at the hotel, we ate dinner with his fellow board members. The night ended with us standing in line for Amy's Ice Cream (which was sooo worth it) and eating outside.
Oh and Carlos and I had a funny moment on the way there. I was just driving and driving and Carlos was talking on the phone as usual, and we realized we were heading towards Houston and not Austin. We cut over on some back roads and finally made it to Austin!!!!
Well the back roads were so interesting that we routed another way home for Sunday. I bought a book about Historical Markers and we read about all the towns we were passing through on the way home. Interesting places included the spot where the Chisolm trail started, where the first shot of the War for Texas Independence was fired, prehistoric indian sites, stage coach sites and ghost towns. It was so much more interesting than the interstate. We even ate lunch at the Smallest Whataburger, occupancy 38!
