The Boy is Trying to Grow Up

Today was Tyson's first day of preschool (actually it was more of a parent orientation, so I stayed). He had a fabulous time! He raised his hand for EVERY SINGLE question that was asked and when Ms. Tripodo asked "Where are we today, are we at home?" Tyson answered "Yes!" He got quite the laugh from all the parents. He is such a sweet little boy...his teacher is just going to LOVE him...if he doesn't get into too much mischief that is;)

Okay, I just realized recently that my hubby and I are the only couple in the world that don't use words like "Honey", "Darling", "Sweatheart" when talking to each other. I think it may stem back to my pre-Mike dating and the incredibly "cheesy" guys I dated (hence our non "cheesy" marriage proposal). Anyways, as I get older, I am starting to think a little cheese isn't a bad thing. So now what should I call Mike...

2 Kids, 2 Schools

Today was the first day of school.

We had a last minute change of plans. Yesterday we got a call from the Charter school that they had a spot open for Jordan. This school is supposed to be the best in the area and most people wait years to get in, so I thought I better take the spot (and of course the phone call came while Mike was out of town, so I had to make the decision ALONE). Anyways, it turned out good for Jordan because she now doesn't have to wear a uniform, she gets a locker, AND her good friend from church is in her class!!

Kya was excited that her best friend from last year was in her class BUT she came home from school saying her teacher was "MEAN." So, I am not sure what to do with that information...but aparently she "benched" a couple kids on the first day of school and got mad at "half the class". Hopefully tomorrow goes better or I'll have to take a trip to the office with some complaints. (Kya 1st Grade)

Anyways, we survived the first day...now lets see how the rest of the year goes:0)

It's days like this...

...that make me wish I lived closer to home:(

Most of the time I just get caught up in living my life, but sometimes I just start hurting inside...missing my family and my old home in Canada. Today my sister Lisa had a baby girl. Today is one of those days that I just wish I was home.

1 Year Ago Today...

...we got the sweetest little kitty in the world.

Summer Summer Summer

We are done swim lessons with one week left before school starts!! That means this week is all about FUN...and with this insanely beautiful weather that means BEACH:)

[We did manage to go once last week, but squeezing it in between trips to the Y just isn't that relaxing. I did get some pictures though.]

Oh, and I was there too:)

It's Done

Okay, so Tyson is all registered for pre-K---seriously PRE-K!! When did he get so grown up?! I have gone back and forth so many times on the whole preschool thing. Anyways, we'll see how it goes. He starts September 15th...and you know I am going to be voluteering every day:)
