Lucy will begin her official school career this year. She's been in home day care with a teacher that treated it like preschool, but it was still home based. Lucy will be going on the adventure of learning routines with 20 other children, how to follow directions not directly given to her, less structured rest time (she still takes two hour naps here at home), and eating w/ a lot of students around her. I am very apprehensive and nervious. Mommabear wants to protect but teacher wants her to learn. It is very conflicting. I dont think Lucy understands that her school career is about to change but she will probably adapt quicker than we will.
Daddy and Lucy went out and purchased a Tinker bell backpack, lunch box, green folder and 3ring binder (i dont know why a preschooler needs a binder). She picked out extra materials like wipes and glue sticks to give to her teacher.

REVAMP
Now that we have one child starting school, another at daycare alone, and both parents starting new jobs, we are in the process of revamping this blog. Sorry if posts you liked were deleted but more fun is to come!
Summer Fun
Our summer has been chugging along. We have settled into a nice pattern to just have it end in two weeks. We have added a new addition to our family...a huge TV. Everyone loves it and gives it hugs in the morning. Soon, we shall be adding an entertainment system to house the new joy.
Summer Vacation: Day 3
Sunday morning = Sunday brunch right?...not here. We drove around for 1/2 an hour and found one restaurant and the wait was huge. We decided to turn around and head to a BBQ place we wanted to try; Just Keep Smokin. It was alright. Their meat was very smoky. Needed less grease and more bbq sauce for my taste. After filling our bellies, we headed for Ceder Creek National Forest and went on nature trail. The kids tried the different exercises along the way. Tommy had his first injury by falling at the end of the trail as we headed back to the car. We then headed back to the cabin for a relaxing afternoon.
