The first week is over

Well, we made it through the first week of school! Both the kids like their teachers which is always a plus. I have been proud of them, they have to get up at 6:20 to get ready and have hardly complained at all. The first week is usually the hardest because they are not used to getting up so early. We even have to walk about 1/4 of a mile to the end of our road so they can catch the bus. But, they love riding the bus. It does make for a long day since they don't get home until almost 4. I am hoping they can keep the excitement for another week or so. The one funny thing that happened today was Delaney decided on her own to have breakfast at school even though she ate at home. Then she took to long and wound up getting a little lost inside the school. Ben was worried about her, he says he checks on her before class starts and didn't see her. One of the teachers found her and took her to class. She wasn't scared, just wandering around. I think this year is going to be exciting!

First day of school

The kids were both pretty excited to go back to school. Delaney could hardly sleep the night before. Ben and I took them to school and got to see their rooms and meet the teachers. Delaney has the same teacher Ben had at that age. When the bell rang, Laney just said, " see you later!". No problem at all. She especially liked riding the bus home. I think it was a good day for everyone!

Puppies

Well, after much indecision on my part, we have decided to let my dog Truby have puppies. She is due in the middle of October. The kids are excited that we will have a bunch of puppies running around for a while, but know we are not keeping any. I will keep everyone updated with photos!
