A new year of Preschool

Madison started preschool yesterday.. this year she goes in the afternoon so we are adjusting to life with no nap. She was so excited, this was only her third wardrobe change before deciding it was a go. What a difference a year makes.. last year we were hanging on Mommy's legs and hesitant to stay this year... she was ready for me to leave before I was. This is one of Madison's favorite places at the Serra Preschool.. the playdough table (maybe it's because Mommy doesn't "do" playdough).
This is right before I left and Madison was checking out her "cubby" and was all smiles... we are off to a great year!!

It's official... Mark Farrell for SF Supervisor

On August 8, 2009 Mark filed to run for elected office... District 2 Supervisor of San Francisco. This has been a long time dream of his and after many late night talks we decided now was the time to go for it!!
The press surrounding the big event was unbelievable... every TV station was there to cover it (or the budget crisis) but being from a news background I am going to go with it. We started out the day at swim lessons then raced to City Hall to sign the paperwork and make it official and then Mark raced to the airport to catch a plane to NYC. Why do I have a feeling this is going to be the story of our lives for the next 15 months. The kids were so excited and even tried to register to vote!!
This signature is the beginning of an exciting journey... and notice the orange shirt... in true SF Giant's spirit!
This is the family moment right after the filing... make sure to check out the website www.markfarrell.com and donate while you are there!!
