Puppy...I know I can't believe it either!

Hank came home from work last Thursday with a "surprise" for the boys. I told the boys to go outside because Dad was almost home and he had a surprise for them. I was sure that it was something minor that he had found during his work day. A dog, really a puppy, however, in my small opinion, is not minor. I was not thrilled.

How am I going to take care of one more thing during my day? Well, needless to say the dog...which we have named Dixie is now officially ours and is part of our growing family!

Hank told me later that he thought it would be ok since we had agreed that sometime around Christmas we would get a dog...it's almost Christmas right???

Full Time Pre-K

Nolan started Pre-K this week. He goes everyday from 9:30-1:30 and it is great for both of us! I thought I may have trouble filling my time with only one child at home...but it is already filled! He loves school, his teachers, and all his friends.

First Grade

A little nervous that my picture taking will make him miss the bus...

Too cute...our neighbor friend Ellie with Chase

Run, Chase, Run!

We have a GREAT Bus Driver...Mr Roger

I honestly cannot believe my little boy is in first grade. He absolutely loves it! I love when he gets off the bus smiling ear to ear and eager to tell me about what he did for the day. He adores his new teacher, Mrs Chambliss. She has been teaching 1st grade for 22 years and she is still as bubbly and enthusiastic as a new grad + she has all the experience. We are looking forward to a great year!

Summer is Over!!

I thought we would stay around the house on the last day before school starts. The boys said they would like to watch TV all day (no surprise there!). I thought it would be best to be outside and get some energy out...The slip n'slide was a hit!
