A new post - just rambling

I have not fallen of the face of the blogging world.  I have just been busy or tired or had no new pictures to put up or have been spending too much time on ebay and craigslist.  I do have pictures of Becca's first day of 1st Grade but they are way out in the kitchen.  They will have to wait.  Becca loved her first day and I hated it.  1st grade is worse than Kindergarten.  I wasn't so sad with Kindergarten because it was only 3 hours.  But dropping off your child for the whole day with some complete stranger you didn't get to pick - now that was hard for me.  The second day wasn't so bad though and of course she wanted to walk herself through the gate this time.  She is just too big.  Also Becca finally got over her fear of water and will go under.  We told her since last year she could go to Baskin Robins if she would and we were finally able to go on Friday!  She is getting much braver.  Em also started swimming by herself with a life jacket tonight and blowing bubbles.  I guess not getting into swimming lessons worked out alright.
