Anna's First Day at MMO

Today was Anna's very first day of MMO (Mother's Morning Out) at Good Hope Preschool.  MMO meets every Monday for 2.5 hours. 

She was a little confused/upset that Max and Kate could not stay in her classroom but within minutes she was playing.  She was super excited to see me (hooray!) at pick-up time. She found a baby doll that she loved and had a hard time parting with but after several hugs and kisses, she agreed the baby could stay at school and take a rest. The first thing she asked when I got her in the car, "Where is Kate?"

Ready to Go!

On Our Way!

Kate & Max were so excited for Anna - so cute!

When Peter got home from work, Anna proudly announced, "I go cool!"

Good Hope Preschool

Kate and Max are together in the "Owls" classroom with Ms. Cindy and Ms. Gretchen (who both have twins of their own!).  The kids had such a warm welcome the minute we walked in the building and were thrilled to see kids in their class from last year!

 

This is going to be a good year!!!

Kranz Family Beach Week 2013

We just spent a week with the entire Kranz family at Pawley's Island.  We stayed in the same house as last year, Websters, right in the beach - luxury!  The memories and pictures are endless...I am trying to consolidate to just a few brief posts to capture the essence of the week.

Matt, Andy, Jenny, Roman, Mimi, Pop Pop

Kranzs of Cary

From sunrise to sunset we were playing outside on the porch, patio, beach, trails and in Murrell's Inlet.  Kate loved being rolled around in the water by the waves. Max loved building sandcastles and floating in the tube.  Anna loved a little bit of everything - floating in the waves, chasing birds, collecting shells, flying kites and hanging out in chairs eating snacks.
