Happy Not-so-new Year!

Happy New Year! About three weeks late. And while we're at it, Merry Christmas, almost a month late. Sorry about the blogging hiatus. We did have a merry Christmas both at home and visiting family- lots of presents, yummy food, and time spent together. Our new year is also off to a good start. The Girls on the Go have experienced a few "firsts" already in 2011.

Abbey became the youngest astronaut to ever join NASA, and the first to go into orbit from the New Braunfels Children's Museum!

Okay, not really, but she looks ready, doesn't she?!

The girls had their first "Smiley" cookies from Naeglin's, the oldest bakery in Texas.

This was the first time, but I doubt it will be the last!

And Elliott had her "second first day" of preschool. We decided that although we liked the preschool she was attending in the fall, it was too much driving every day, and she didn't like being there for lunch and rest time. So last week she had her first day at her new school. So far she loves it! One of Elliott's new teachers had Abbey in class two years ago and has already remarked on how different their personalities are. (Believe me, I know!)

Ready to go!

So that's the latest from the Newman Girls on the Go. More to come, in less than a month this time!
