Eva's First Day of Kindergarten

No surprise she had an awesome first day of kindergarten. She was so excited to be at a big school. When I asked her what she thought of kindergarten, her reply was "it's even better than Sonshine School. We get to be at a really big school and have Spanish class and music. I bet tomorrow will be even more fun!" She and her new friend Sierra have already exchanged stories about their vacations and bad dreams. (Eva recently had a nightmare about a Curious George episode where he thought a cow mooing was a ghost. Who woulda thought Curious George would cause a nightmare!?!?) As we were driving to school today, she asked if i could just drop her off and not walk her into the school. I told her that we'll gradually progress to the 'drop off'. So, tomorrow I will escort her to the end of the hall...just in case she needs me. (right) Here's our baby girl getting ready for her first day of Kinder!

Moving

We're not completely moved yet, but who needs 'stuff' when you have stairs, a few of your favorite games and a pool. At least that's how the kids see it. Never-mind we're sleeping on air mattresses at the "old" house because the downstairs AC in the new house isn't cooling properly...they think all of this is F-U-N. But, it's their excitement that motivates me to keep packing those boxes! We're really so blessed and thankful to have everything work out the way it did. Our house selling so quickly and finding our ideal new home. And all in time to register Eva for kindergarten at the same school that her cousins attend/attended, which happens to also be where I did my student teaching 10 years ago! We kept telling ourselves if our buyers backed out, the new house just wasn't meant to be. Well, I guess it was part of God's plan for us. We're looking forward to watching the kids 'grow up' in the new house and creating lots of fun family memories! I'll be posting pics soon. I can't believe I haven't picked up the camera in weeks! I think I might be having withdrawals. :P
