Back to school

We are catching our breath after the rude awakening of moving from the relaxed pace of summer into the frenzy of fall. Hank started school last week at Washingtonian Episcopal and has been really enjoying it so far. Not a tear shed yet over being dropped off! He has even taken the really big boy step of staying at school two days a week until 3:30pm in stride. I'm always so proud of Hank when he enters a situation that for many kids (and, er, parents) is fraught with anxiety with such ease. Like, "yeah, this is a new school with new teachers and classmates. So what? Stay here all day? Eat my lunch here? Nap here? No problem!"  He is truly a big kid now.

First day of Nursery!

For his part, Gus started a playgroup this week. He will go three days a week with either moi or his nanny to enjoy playing with other kids, singing songs and learning how to be a social being.  We went mMonday and he had a blast. I wasn't able to get him to stay still for long enough to get a good shot of him! 

Work for both Matt and me has picked up considerably now that everyone is back in the city (although you would think it was still summer around here with the weather - it is 95 degrees today).  We are both buzzing around like busy bees trying to get on top of it all.  It is both invigorating and slightly overwhelming at the same time.  We just need to get through September and then I think we'll be able to relax a bit. Bear with me and my intermittent posting during this busy time.  Here are some cute shots of the brothers Kelly to get you through the drought.

This is how Gus plays with his baby...
