Ellie's Unofficial First Day of Preschool & more

This morning was Ellie's first unofficial day of preschool.  Thursday is the real beginning of school, but today was an orientation where she was able to meet her teachers (Ms. Natalie and Miss Nicky) and they had some time in their classrooms while the parents had a meeting.

Here is Miss Elise (Elise is what she likes to be called at preschool & at church) posing for a picture before school.

Here is Ellie holding up a picture she drew when I came to pick her up from class.  She seems really excited about preschool this year and when we got into the car she said she was sad because her school day was already over. 

Here are some pictures to catch up from the weekend:

Maggie hanging out while Elise and Owen play at the park.

Owen posing right before he was stung about 6 or 8 times by wasps that had their nest inside the playground equipment.  It was sad, but we just loaded him up with Benadryl and he was fine.  Reminds me of when Ellie was stung by wasps.  We were sad for Owen but he is such a trooper that he hardly cried for long.

Here are some pictures of the kids playing this morning:
