Lauryn's New School

Today we went to Lauryn's orientation. Here is her desk and the front of her room along with her new teacher, Miss Bouboulis. Lauryn is pretty excited now. She met one little girl who is new to the school this year in her class and there was another little boy who came in just after we left so she knows they don't know anyone either. We also got to meet almost all of the specials teachers, gym, music, art, nurse, and reading specialist. Then we came home and the reading specialist (I wish I could remember her name but that's not my strong point) was walking to the place across the street to pick up her kids at her sister-in-laws house.

So now we are set. All the school supplies have been purchased and we have one last weekend before the buses start to come. Lauryn is a little more excited about the bus since her ride will be less than 10 minutes instead of having to catch the bus an hour before school starts.

Kindergarten

Here is some pictures of Robert's class. We met our teacher (in pink) who's name is Mrs. VanDame. There is a morning class and an afternoon class so that is why there are two names on his desk. We got to put all our school supplies away and see the reading books that he is going to use. He was very happy he easily sound out all the words for their first reader. I think now he's excited that he gets to go to school. We'll see what the first bus ride brings!
Stay tuned for Lauryn. She gets to meet her teacher tomorrow afternoon.

Pictures from the Island

Vacation

Here are some pictures from the island in Canada. I think we can honestly say it's one of the best places on earth. There was lots of swimming, relaxing and just enjoying each other. I'm not sure if we had more fun or the puppies though. Riley couldn't stay out of the water and she was the guarding of the deck. I think the enjoying being outside from the time they woke up until the crawled to bed. The kids didn't mind it so much either. The weather was beautiful when we were there too (despite what the weather channel said!)

However, now is back to real life and moving and getting ready for school. I HATE MOVING! We have a month before we close on the house. We have a good start to most of the stuff going places and are down to the stuff that I feel like just dumping in a dumpster because it's just junk. I know I have just the next couple weeks to be getting up to Danville and deal with it so I have to get in gear.

In the next couple weeks, I will try and do better and getting lots of new things up on here. I have to figure out how to do a slide show too!
Love to all! Lisa
