"I can't believe Alex is leaving me to go to school!"

Alex and Danny getting on the bus.

The gang at the bus stop on the first day of school. Aren't they cute?

Alex receiving his yellow belt. I rotated these pictures before posting but must not have saved them that way. Bear with me on this site. I'm a beginner. Love, Jen

Olivia noticed I was posting Alex's Karate pictures and insisted I take a picture of her to "put on the computer".

Hello! We just celebrated Alex's birthday with a party at Carowinds. His friends were really good and we had a great time. Even Olivia loved the rides. Tomorrow Alex will be testing for his yellow belt in Karate and I will be going back to work. I am excited but will miss the kids. Jon's been busy with work but has managed to get home early to swim with the kids. That's all the news we have for now. Love, Jon~Jen~Alex~Olivia

"Excuse me" the Princess has arrived.

I was so tired and Alex just kept going.
We made it to the 1/2 way point!

Boy was I tired! Alex was all ready to go on a 5 mile ride.
