Genevive started Kindergarten on Monday, July 14th! And yes, the whole family went with her to her classroom. She loves doing homework! Now if we could just make that excitement last until she's through with college ;)
We were very sad to say goodbye to the kid's old daycare provider, Ms. Shannon, and her family. They moved to the east coast and will be missed by us! They did start with Ms. Jenny and they seem to love going there. I would too if I got to make pretzels and cookies each week.
Time for some NAKED BABY pics! Aviston hit the half-year mark this month, not too bad for a 7-week premie, eh? In just six months, he's already developed such a big fan base--among the parents for being such a "good baby" and among the Filipino grandmas with his "clep chin." Go ahead with your "good" self, Aviston!
Could it be? Matthew and Michelle out on the town without ANY of their kids?? Are these photos the work of a Photoshop artist? Nay. Many thanks to the grandparents for letting these two crazy newlyweds run around Tucson for a couple of hours with their friends. Unfortunately, their excursion was cut short due to an attack by a red spider with some long legs.
And lastly, Carmela and Michelle made some time to try out for season 8 of American Idol at the Jobing.com Arena in Phoenix with fellow "Idol Rangers" Sally & Jaclyn. This was Michelle's last year to make the age cut-off so she decided to give it one last go. When asked for a comment, the singing sensations both nodded off mid-sentence. They were mumbling about waking up at 1 in the morning and a man wearing a banana costume.
