Another First!

Just like everyone else in the blog world...I had to post about Damon's first day of Pre-School...(more like Nursery School since he is only 3)....I am so excited that he's started school, and that he will have much more structure to his day. He's been so excited about it for months so I'm so glad that it is finally here! My good friend, Annette, has been involved with this school for at least 5 years, and has raved about it since I've known her. It's just 3 mornings a week - a perfect amount of time for Damon (and for myself). It's absolutely crazy to realize how quickly they grow up....

kind of a super cheesy picture....but I only took 3 pictures...so I just added it anyways...
