Back to School!

Wow, how time flies when you're having fun! Or vacationing that is! We have been soooo busy this summer with our trip to Iowa, camping, new job, new school, etc. that we haven't had time to update. So here we go...attempt #2 in keeping you all updated on the goings. I do think I mentioned in my first blog, that I would do one and only one attempt at this whole blogging thing...as you'll see I'm about as consistent with this as I am with parenting Katie. :)

The kids started back to school on Wednesday. It has truly been two great days days of school. Watching the kids adjust so easily to the new school and new friends has been awesome! Jordan was so excited that he got to pray 2 times in school on the first day. Colin was happy to be with some old friends from preschool. Jocie is still mesmerized by her kindergarten teacher. :) (So is mom by the way!)

Today, Katie started preschool ~ where does the time go!? Still not potty trained and going against what we've said all summer - "You can't go to preschool if you're not going potty in the toilet" is yet another example of our bad parenting where we say she can't and she does anyway. And we wonder why she is who she is. Hmmmm....

That all said, how could I not send her? Preschool is amazing, as always, and the teachers do such a fabulous job with these kids. She did amazingly well. Walked right in, hung up her jacket, took out the things from her backpack, hung that right up, and walked over to start playing with the kitchen. "No big deal mom, doing just fine, don't let the door hit you on your way out..." :) Pictures from the first couple days are attached! Enjoy!

Mom hurry and take the picture, I can't wait to get inside!
