First day of school!

What great looking kids on their first day of school!  K was just a little excited....had a very hard time containing himself!  Ainsley was a bit nervous because she didn't know much about her teacher and was bummed that Ginger was not in her class.  Reggie was cool as ice, as usual, easy peasy.  He has one of his good buddies in his class and was very happy about that.  We started a star chart to get ready in the morning and have everyone get in the car on time with no yelling from mom!  It was a fabulous morning and I hope it lasts :o).  They all seemed ready to go back and I was very ready to have them go back :).  I chatted with friends all morning and then went to the gym for a nice work-out....so nice to have some adult conversations!!!
K has Mrs. Pastranak, Ainsley has Mrs. Mastrantonio and Reggie has Mrs. Mitchell.  They all reported after school that they had a fabulous day and loved their teacher's.  Reggie said his was really funny and Ainsley said her teacher called her Sweetie (if only she knew!).  K had several friends from preschool, church and the gym in his class, all boys, so there was probably some serious energy, but I didn't hear about it, so all is good.  He told Ainsley he loves school, YES!  Reggie and Ainsley were playing 4-square together at school today :o).  I am curious and excited to see how this year goes for all of them and how they learn and grow.  
On another note, we had some excitement early Sunday morning.  I woke up at 3:20 to our bed rolling like we were in the ocean.  I quickly realized we were having and earthquake and woke up Ryan.  He ran out to the dining room and we were trying to figure out if we should get the kids and get out, but before we could even move, it was over, thank God!  The epicenter was near Napa, about 70 miles away and it was a strong earthquake (6.1).  One of the more powerful I felt and we've been in about 4 now (2 in Washington, 2 in California).  Thankfully, it was short, 10-20 seconds or it would have done some major damage.
