Amelia Island 2009

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Finally, SOME of the fun caught on film of the Berger family trip to Amelia Island. There were hundreds of other memorable moments that we didn't capture but will remember forever.

I hope you enjoy as much as we did

The First Day of Kids Day Out...School

So I know those of you who aren't on FaceBook are dying to see pictures from our trip to Amelia Island and I promise to get them up soon. This just couldn't wait...

Thursday was Elie's first day of "Kids Day Out" or "school" and what a big day indeed.

On Wednesday we had gone to Target for things to put in her lunchbox and she was soooo excited to pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, strawberry bars and some peaches. She kept telling me that "all her friends would be there". I think she only kinda knows one little girl, Ellen, of the 13 other children in the class.

The outfit is classic Elie. Recently she has gotten strong opinions about what she wears and LOVES to accessorize. We show up with dozens of strands of beads and multiple bows in our hair regularly. The hat has been her summer favorite. It was one of Emma and Sophie's and she wears it ALL THE TIME. Try as I might I couldn't convince her that the hat didn't match today...she was still wearing it as I waved goodbye and she rolling play dough.

The morning started with Momma getting us there 30 minutes early, (could have been worse I guess my mom dropped me off at camp a couple of days early once) so we got a special treat scone before hand. It was actually harder for momma than Elie. She ran into the class and sat right down to roll play dough. I was waving furiously from the door..."momma loves you...see you later" Not even a glance.

When I got there at 2:30 to pick her up she was the only one still sleeping soundly in the middle of the room...that's my girl, loves her nap.

Afterwards we picked up Grandma Ruth and then went for ice cream then back to her apartment to read books and play.

What a great day! Let hope our first day at Country Club Christian goes as well in two weeks.
