My new ride!

After much consideration, I decided it was time for my old Explorer to be replaced with something newer, something in need of less repairs, and something that fit our family's needs better.  This is our new Ford Flex.  I love it!  It is a bit smaller then my Explorer, but seems bigger because the interior makes so much more sense with what we need in seating arrangements.

School days are here again! August 22,2012

 Yea, the first day of kindergarten is finally here!
Carson has been anxiously awaiting his opportunity to officially be considered a "big kid", and becoming a kindergartner is his big moment! 
Bright and early on Tuesday morning, he was up and out of bed by 6:50am.  A cool outfit on, a cereal breakfast eaten, teeth brushed, hair styled with gel.....and he was off to begin his school career!
 
Ms. Hellen is Carson's teacher this year.  We love her and think she is the best kindergarten teacher ever!  Promptly at 7:50, at the sound of her whistle, Ms. Hellen had all of her students line up on the playground and head toward the classroom door.  Carson turned to give Eric and I a quick wave as he made his way into the classroom with his new classmates.  Then he was gone to start his fun day, and our day with Holly began.  I think she really liked having our attention all to herself during that first morning...I think she could get used to it!
 
School kids!
 
 
Tate started 1st grade today!  He has 2 teachers this year! Mrs. Mazzone teaches his class on Monday and Tuesday. Mrs Sprinkle teaches on Thursday and Friday, and they alternate on Wednesdays.  I know this sounds a bit confusing, but Tate had teachers with this type of schedule when he did foundations kindergarten 2 years ago and it worked out just great!  This is the first year Tate now has a full length school day and is at school until 2:20 each day!  Such a big kid now!
