So, the last full week of summer happened. Kaylee was very excited to have her orthodontist consultation. We had a few choices and decided to get the ball rolling. Cienna had her first day at Marshall without parents. The orientation was great and she had fun on her tour with her WEB leader. Daddy got her PE clothes with her that morning and Mommy and her got some Marshall Uniform wear after the parent presentation. Both girls had fun activities at Y camp for and they also went for the morning hours on Friday. That evening we finally got to go back to Islands after they had a big fire which they closed down for.
The girls had their routine doctors appointments, followed by lunchtime with the Marshall girls. That Saturday we had a blast at the Ferrario's for Jeff's 50th birthday party! And Sunday we had the Bakx and Dani over to bottle the beer that Daddy and Roman made for Dani and Tim's wedding. We even got the Bakx kids to stay and play for the night after a bike ride dinner at Baja Sanora.
Since school started on Wed. Mommy took the last two days of Summer off. We had a great day with lots of friends at the bay, then the girls got to pick the Souplantation for lunch before bowling with the Marshall girls.
Inevitably the first day of school arrived. We all walked Kaylee to class first thing. It was great to see familiar faces, she was excited and nervous at the same time. After saying goodbye to Kaylee the three of us walked on over to Marshall Middle School for our first time. Daddy joined the D.O.G.S for the first time in an amazing welcome back to school line for all the kids. Let's just say, it was easier for Cienna than Mommy and Daddy.
Both girls had a great summer and were also happy to be back in school. It is a fun transition, but there has been a little denial that they are getting older. We are getting into the groove with the new schedule with new school activities, along with soccer and gymnastics.
That weekend Mommy got to carve out at least a little time to catch up Darcie in passing at the LB airport as she was in San Diego for a gymnastics convention and spending time with family in Catalina. A three day weekend followed due to Labor Day. Michele and Linda threw a great party down the street on Sunday and Monday we spent the time together as a family with a long bike ride on the beach with lunch in the middle at Yard House. Kaylee was cruising her new bike and teaching herself to ride with no hands. We even made a stop at Mommy and Daddy's first apartment they shared together and the girls did a handstand photo shoot. Unfortunately Daddy ruptured his hamstring the next week, but is working through it like a champ.
Following the school week we had the start of soccer games on Saturday then got to head straight to Carlsbad for Dani and Tim's wedding. Auntie Kimmie also had a wedding to go to, so we finally found a good time to get our annual mani/pedi that we give for each others birthday. Kaylee was lucky enough to get to join us. Both girls had wonderful games. Kaylee scored a hat trick in the first quarter and Cienna's team tied it up 1-1 in the last minutes of the game. After a decent road trip to Carlsbad we all showered and got ready in a wonderful hotel and met up with friends to celebrate Dani and Tim. After the ceremony there was a fun dinner and dancing reception nearby. We all stayed up too late but had a great time. The girls got up the next morning and had fun at the beach before enjoying a great breakfast and exploring the area. We met back up with the happy couple for lunch before heading home to get ready for the next/first full week of school.
The week was spent getting into the routine of the weeks to come. We are all excited for new adventures and activities. Our last weekend we had a couple more fantastic soccer games, four more goals by Kaylee and a fantastic save as center back by Cienna. Mommy also finally got to play her first Fall soccer game. We ended the weekend with the gymnastics team banquet. There was a ton of great food, all of us got to dress up a little fancy, and there was even a ball room dancing lesson. Cienna earned a medal hanger for the most improved and they both got fun awards.
All of us joined Nicki for her birthday celebration on a Duffy Boat Tour around the bay. Daddy got to help co-captain and Mommy joined the girls in some fun games. It was the first time for all of us.
Since her first consultation, Kaylee got spacers, and molds, etc. all leading up to her expander. She continues to be excited through all of it.
It's certainly a busy time, but we enjoy all of it together!
