All the Cuz!

Here's a picture from earlier this summer for those who needed faces for their names. :)

Bennett is center. McGrooter is to his right, Aggie is to his left, and Munch is directly in front.

First Day of School 2007

Ok, so this year's first day of school was SOOOoooo not last year's first day of school. I'm sure most of it was because Bennett was the first to go and he's paved the way into the public school system and taking those first steps. Maybe it was because Maggie is so mature in her 5 years. :) Maybe not! I think this summer helped me to be ready for school to start. I didn't think I would ever look forward to the first day of school. I enjoy my kids at home. I enjoy myself at home. But the non-routine we fell into over the past two months has been very uncomfortable for me. I liked getting up at the same time every day, driving them to school, spending my 30 minutes at Curves, and then starting my day with the tasks at home.

Open House 2007

Bennett & Maggie enjoyed their Open House days at Jack P. Nix. Maggie is way more excited than Bennett ever was (or probably will be). She gets Mrs. Chamberlain this year, the same that Bennett had last year. Bennett gets Mrs. Milhollin, a lady from church whom we know. That makes this year's transition into school so much easier for the parents!!

We didn't spend too much time in Maggie room because she is already familiar with Mrs. Chamberlain and Mrs. Heather. She found her seat, checked out the goodie bag, and said hello to her neighbor Tristan. That was about the extent of it.

Bennett's was a little more involved. We checked out the room, spoke to several friends, and asked a few questions to a very busy teacher. Mrs. Milhollin seems to be a very laid back, go with the flow kind of lady. She likes to sing and dance and integrates that into her teaching (so she says). Her helper is Mrs. Karen, and since Bennett isn't too fond of strangers, it was a quiet meeting.
