The beginning of June is always busy with the end of school and packing the bags for the summer. I always think how it would be nice to just have the end of school year craziness without adding the packing. You would think after 8 years of this, I would be a better packer!!

Since the girls and I are leaving before school was out, I had to follow-up on all the details. Emersyn will be a middle school student and Elle is moving schools. After many long discussions, we decided to move Elle to Concordia for first grade. We left June 6 with Emmy’s school finishing June 10. Elle’s school finishes late June which is one of the main reason to move her as she misses so much school.

United Airlines has changed the planes and policy for upgrades with miles. We may never see business class again! However, the Christmas gift of iTouches make all the difference. As we were landing in San Francisco, Elle asked if Mimi was bring balloons. What? She remembered one time when Mimi and Grandma came with balloons to the airport – she remembers the funniest things. I told her no I don’t think anyone is bringing balloons. Mimi did bring them some flowers…whew, that gave her a big smile.
