Keegan and Mel's house

First day of school

Boo Hoo, my baby started school! Malaya's school is 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. I was so worried that she would cry and be so upset, but she has had a great time so far! Our neighbor is actually Malaya's teacher, so I think she has favored her a bit :) Unfortunately I am not there to get Malaya ready for school. So, I gave Sean pigtail lessons, but obviously he didn't get it. He admits.....it was awful. Oh well, some day we'll look back and laugh.

a day out

We went to a festival at Chadds Ford Winery. It was a beautiful day and the kids had fun running around.

Beach

We spent a week in Ocean City, NJ in a tiny little house. The house was small, but it was pretty much right on the beach, so we were happy. We had a great time and wore the girls out. Malaya was very happy to be there and spent her time in the water. When she was not in the water, she was building baths and beds for her baby doll with the sand. Jolie had a love/hate relationship with the beach. Sometimes she loved digging and playing in the sand and water, and sometimes she cried about it and wanted to be held. Jolie did, however, love chasing the seagulls and pulling apart jellyfish. We spent our evenings riding bikes to the icecream shop, playing at the park, or enjoying the boardwalk. We did have 1 day of rain so we went to a Please Touch Museum, Aquarium, and ended up at a restaurant in a casino for dinner.

I can see the headline now, "Tiny Tot Wins Millions!"

This was an old ride on the boardwalk. I just had to see what it was all about, so Jolie gave it a try.

Jolie has developed quite a funny little personality. She decided to embrace the sand and have a good time.
