1st day of School 2010
We had a great summer! We were blessed to have two wonderful girls come to our house & keep the kids. Thank you so much girls! We miss you & hope that you both love your new schools like crazy. Thank you for being positive role models! With summer ending, school starts! Philip is in the 6th grade this year. 6th graders move up to middle school :(. We were all nervous the days leading up to the 1st day. I can remember taking Philip to kindergarten. (teary, teary, teary!!). Philly had a "good" 1st day. All of his teachers were nice & his friends have the same lunch (which is always a great thing no matter how old you are!).
Ashlyn started 2nd grade. This is our 7th year at our elementary school so it feels like home to us. Ashlyn has a wonderful teacher & great friends in her class. We feel blessed to have our kids go to a public school with Christian teachers & principal. Kinda like private without the cost & uniform. (but sometimes I think a uniform would be great for Ashlyn!)
Our sweet Sydney started Mothers Day Out (MDO) also. She is in the dog room at a church close by. Kinda funny because Sydney was born in the year of the dog! All of us have been talking to Sydney about how awesome & fun school was going to be. She just quietly walked into her classroom & started playing. No tears, no clinging, nothing. (i was kinda expecting tears & wailing but nope) The teachers are super sweet & the classroom is very clean & bright. Sydney was excited to see me but enjoyed her time there.
Hope all of you had or will have a great 1st day of school! I'm glad these last couple of days are over because it is exhausting on me to have all of this change & worry!

Wow--it has been awhile since I posted. Thank you for all of your comments from my previous post. I just want every orphan in this world to have a forever family!
Before summer was over, we took a quick weekend trip to Carlsbad Caverns. The caverns are really cool. Cool to look at & very cool temperature wise. Can you say burr in July???!! Philip has been wanting to go for years so he really enjoyed reading all about the caverns & the bats. I would recommend this to any families traveling thru the Carlsbad area. It is a day activity & really cheap. Like $12 to get in! And no fee for parking.
