Back to School
Phil's Christmas vacation has come to an end and it was back to school this morning. My sister Julia's pre-tax season vacation is up tomorrow, so it was back to California for her. Phil wanted her to see his school before she left, so we caravaned, stopping outside his classroom for a photo op before he headed in and she headed out.
Phil had a great time over the break (see earlier posts (1, 2) for his Christmas experience). With Aunt Julia here he caught a couple movies (Night at the Museum, Open Season), got his first Build-a-Bear friend (a monkey), burned through Christmas gift cards (things from Toys R Us that he's "always wanted" even though they only came out last year), and stayed up way too late, way too often.
Still, he's been excited about school starting again. And, frankly, we have been, too. It's a win-win for everybody.
