Meet the Teacher

I took Hadley to 'Meet the Teacher' today at KDO. She kept pointing down the hall and asking about Max. I hope it gives her comfort knowing that he is just down the next hallway. She was so excited to go in, but when we got there, she buried her head into my leg and wouldn't look at anyone. She recognized a few girls from her Sunday school class. I think she is going to have a great year. One of her teachers is Mrs. Kathy who was Max's VBS teacher. He loved her and keeps telling Hadley about her. Her first day will be next Thursday. I am not sure what I will do with a full day by myself...I'm sure I'll think of something!

I signed Hadley up for ballet and tap. She will start after Labor Day. I can't imagine her in dance...it will be fun to watch. We bought her a pink skirted leotard, tights and ballet shoes today. She tried them on when we got home and broke out into a dance! She looked so 'oy' (her word for fancy).

Shiloh, Here We Come

Well, after much anticipation, Max started K4 at Shiloh yesterday. He was excited and nervous. Dropping him off proved easier than I had anticipated. He got a little teary but didn't cry. I, on the other hand, did not handle it as well. Apparently, I was lingering and drawing it out (per Chad). Max probably would have been okay if I hadn't insisted on the fifth hug. When Chad finally pulled me out of his classroom, I did cry but not as much as I imagined I might. Hadley kept me in good spirits all day. She did miss Max though. She probably asked me ten times "Maaa?" and "Maaa at cool?" She was disappointed that she didn't get to go to "cool" too. She ran to get her backpack for pictures yesterday morning. She always wants to be just like Max. We go to meet her teachers tomorrow. She is very excited.

Max said his favorite part of the day was nap time and that he loved computer class. He has a very sweet teacher, and he couldn't wait to go to school today. He went right in to his class this morning and was very confident. I had a much easier time leaving him this morning. He is growing up so fast!

Welcome To Our Crazy Life

Hi everyone! I have created this blog to keep everyone up to speed with the kids. It took a long time, and it was very frustrating (as I am not very computer savvy), but here it is. I hope you enjoy it and will check back often for updates. Now that the kids are starting school, I should have a lot to post and time to do it. I would love for you to leave comments if you wish. I will be posting pictures from this summer and vacation soon.
