We found a home! No, we're not were we thought we were gonna be initially but we are hoping that this is for the better! We found a nice house and are beginning the joyful process of unpacking. Currently we feel as we may be living out of boxes forever, but it will all come at time.
Eric started 2nd grade on Friday, September 10, 2010. The school district down here started on August 23. So, he's a couple weeks behind but he'll catch up just fine. He said his first day of school was perfect. So that's awesome! I have to either walk or drive Eric to school as we live pretty close. I don't mind the walk it's fine in the morning but for now until the weather cools off a little bit, I will be picking him up by car in the afternoon. He's to be at school about 8:15am. and M,T,TH,F he goes till 3pm. On Wednesday's they get out at 2pm. Not sure why but that's how it goes. Eric is doing pretty good with everything going on. Very glad to be starting school and getting to meet some friends.
Unfortanetely Alex is not going to be able to go to preschool this year:( We both are very sad about that. He doesn't make the age cut off for the school district, he has to be 4 by Sept. 1st, and his birthday isnt' until October. Bummer. And with the move and everything, we haven't found a preschool that is affordable either. I looked into 2 so far and the one was $300 a month and the other one was $170 a month. Ummmm yea just a lil out of our price range currently. Alex is pretty bummed about no school though. But he seems to like the house and has been a real trooper thru this all!
Which brings me also to Ivy. Since Alex will be home with us we are looking into activities to get involved with and have found a mom's group so we will see about some playdates and such. Ivy is doing pretty good with everything. She seems to be happy to have some of her belongings back! She's been a handful to say as well, nothing bad. Just starting to really have a personality and getting into things and knowing when and what she really wants.
Tim's still on leave, which has been really helpful, and looking forward to his help unpacking all the boxes. So glad I don't have to do it all myself! I'm sure he'll be happy to start work tho to get into a routine. Well, maybe happy isn't the proper word, but he'll be ready for a break from us I'm sure lol.
Me....well....what can I say...It's hot! Not used to the heat! Going to definatly miss the seasons changing. I love fall and well, my palm trees out front just are not going to make for a good leaf pile :( O well....gotta look at the bright side of things, my kids won't have to wear snow suits under their Halloween costumes!
I'll try to post some pictures of the house soon! We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers!!
