Summer is Officially Over

Carson's Kindergarten Orientation. Here he is in the Chinese portion, hence the coloring of the Panda. It was so funny watching these kids just stare at their teacher as she rattled off in Chinese. I could see Carson's lips moving as she spoke, like he was really trying to take it all in and figure it out. Oh and did I mention that I bawled like a baby the minute we walked through the door. I'm glad Tim was there with me so I had a shoulder to cry on and so Carson could have one emotionally stable parent there.Carson's official first day of school. He was SO excited to ride the bus with his friends. He had a hard time finding his shoes this morning too, hence no shoes in the picture. We ended up finding them in the backyard, soaking wet from the sprinklers. Even after throwing them in the dryer, they still weren't dry in time so we had to go with the flip flops. I still can't believe my boy is in Kindergarten and not just Kindergarten, but Chinese Immersion Kindergarten. I'm overwhelmed for him already. He'll do great, its definitely going to be a challenge though.Poor Tes was lonely the first week of school without her buddy around. Here she is with all of her friends that she also sleeps with at night...yes ALL of them. All are cuddled up and ready to watch a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, their favorite.At it again, Top of Utah Half Marathon, round two for me. Here's Jodie and I before the race and no we actually didn't coordinate our outfits, we can pretend we did though cuz we were a team. :) It was a good 10 degrees warmer than it was last year which made it nice at 5:00 in the AM, when its usually freezing, but not so nice come 9:00 AM towards the end of the race. The last mile seemed neverending this time around. I just thank heaven for those darling children with their hose out spraying us runners as we ran up that last hill. Thank you, thank you, thank you!Jodie and I after the race. We came in at exactly the same time, 2:05!
