Back to School-

Christian started Learning Dynamics Preschool on Aug. 21st. He has finally graduated from Miss Angie's preschool and headed to the big league. He loves it. I knew he would but that 1st day you wouldn't have believed me if you saw him when I dropped him off. He bawled. Kurt and I finally left him there crying standing at his teachers door. SAD! I got home and had been there for 5 minutes when I got a call from his school. Oh no- he's hysterical, he punched his teacher, WHAT??? No they just calle dto tell me he was perfectly fine, already participating with the class. PHEW... He's so sweet. His Teacher raves about how kind he is to the other kids, you can't help but love being told that as a mother. He's growing up and that's the good and bad part of it all.
Nikki started the 2nd grade this year at Legacy Elementary in AF. She had a really "BAD DAY" the 2nd day and didn't have anyone to play with at recess. Talk about break my heart...well mom to the rescue headed to school lunch the next day and rounded up some friends for her to play with. :) She is adjusting well and comes home often to announce that she has met another new friend. She's so cute. She really cracks me up. Her teacher is in my parents ward so that's pretty fun. My Dad is even her Home Teacher so grandpa took her over and she got to have a tour of her teachers house and learned her "First Name"...she felt so cool. I think we finally got a shedule down for homework, we were really struggling there at the beginning, but I think we figured it out. Lots of fun!!!

To be or not to be....

That has been the question on this house for the last month and a half. But after much drama back and forth having the house unofficially, being out bid, to having the house again we are indeed closing on the house tomorrow!!! YEA!!! We are so excited to be in a home. It's going to be hard leaving our ward. We have been there for 2 1/2 years and have made great friends. But we have been bursting at the seams in our townhome. We can't wait to have a yard-lots of work ahead as you can see- that's big enough to actually run around in. Nikki started school there since the first day because like I said we were told that they accepted our offer. It's been a difficult transition-she wants to be a fox again not a lion- but she has made some cute friends and we look forward to getting settled this week and starting another phase on our lives. I'll post more pics when we get unpacked. Wish me luck this week. Packing is a nightmare.
Now, I know everyone has been dying to know what we've been up to the last four months. Well, I'll at least pretend you have! We've been without the internet so no blogging time. I only ever had time to read everyone elses when I was at my moms. We will have the computer up and running sometime next week so I look forward to getting back in the scene!!!
