First day of 1st Grade for Abigail and Preschool for Adrianna

Great Wolf Lodge...

This was the girls last weekend before school starts so we took them to Great Wolf Lodge.



Adrianna got her first wand to do Magic Quest.





Ponytail puller...













Abby was big enough to ride the "Wave" and she did great!

No longer a stay at home father...

Last week Q accepted a position as the Family Services and Transportation Coordinator for the Early Head Start Program. He will have about twenty staff and oversee family services for 1100 children in the program. He will have five offices in three cities. His main office is ten minutes down the road where he will spend the majority of his days. To make things even better he is going to be able to bring Adrianna with him to work. His organization also runs a private preschool program and staff get a 40% discount. The furthest that he will have to drive is about 28 miles from the house. Abigail will be in the before and after school program down the street.

Q stayed at home with Abigail until she was about 2.5 years old and now Adrianna is a little over 2.5 and he is re-entering the workforce again. This was the only job that he applied for and they were truly impressed. Q told me right when he walked into the room he knew that he had the job. They wanted to have him start immediately but he told them that he wanted to spend the last week of summer with the girls and I. He won't start until the week after the girls start school. He wanted to make sure Adrianna had time to transition from being at home with him to being in preschool.

I really want to thank him for always putting the girls and I first. He has sacrificed so much to make sure that we are all happy. He has never complained about my work schedule, having to take care of the girls, or taking leave from a career that he truly enjoyed. He is my best friend and the greatest father our girls could ever have.

I can't wait to see him in his suits again!
