Well, it was a chilly morning and back to the grind of early starts to school! BUT, we rallied and we made it with very little complaining. We were excited to see our friends and get back into the swing of things.

                                    

Meanwhile, I watched those big trucks take away my giant leaf piles...and i was not happy about it! Why are they taking all my leaf piles?

                                    

Then Mama, Lucy and I headed out to Grandma's house for the day. We had lots of fun playing and looking at the fish and running around outside and painting and building forts and playing cards and eating lots and lots of M&M's! It was a fun day hanging out with my Grandma!

                                     

                                    

                                    

                                     

                                     

                                     

                                     

We were really happy to see Mama after school and it wasn't even that bad of a day! I got to hang out with Stephen and play and have lots of fun. I even got to see Kai outside while I had recess and he had P.E.! I had fun getting back into school. Now, we'll see how tomorrow goes...

                                    

                                     

We had a lovely family dinner. Played some more and then showered and Daddy read us books before bed!



                                    



Then, later when we were already asleep, Mama got word that her Grandpa, our Great Grand Papi, went to heaven in Ecuador tonight. Mama is very sad. She's going to miss him. They had a very special bond since Mama was a little girl. But she's really happy that our Papi was there with him. Rest in Peace Great Grand Papi. You lived a good, long, 91 year young life!
