Well, summer sure did fly by!! It seems like only yesterday we were packing up our classrooms and ending the year. We had a busy summer between foot surgery, packing, moving, vacation, unpacking and starting a new school. Now with school in full swing (we are starting the 4th week) we haven't slowed down very much.
The start of school signaled my "baby" big girl, Taryn starting PreK. I was not ready for her to be this big, but she is was ready to go to school. We knew this was a good choice for us when we decided to move, as it would be an opportunity for her to meet kids and a good transition into Kindergarten. She was so excited for the first day and looked so cute carrying her backpack and supplies into class. I was very surprised that neither one of us cried that morning. I had to try really hard and Cory had to hold my hand as we walked back down the hall to our rooms, but I knew I would have a classroom full of 4th graders waiting on me.
Taryn is loving going to school and learning new stuff. It is amazing what she is learning and remembering already. She loves taking her lunch (ugggh!! it's easier on me when she eats in the cafeteria), she loves Friday's and getting to buy tattoos to wear for school spirit, and she is loving telling Rhealee about her day (not that Rhealee really cares).
Cory is loving high school students and loving not having such a full schedule and being home more. Now that he is a girls coach, he does not have as long of hours as he did when coaching football. He is still busy on Friday nights keeping the stats and putting the info into the computer, but he is home much earlier. He is loving being back in 6-man football.
I am getting in the swing of 4th grade. It has been an adjustment from 2nd grade. 4th graders are much more independent than 2nd graders. I am not spending part of my day reminding them to tie their shoes, wipe their nose, etc.. I still have to remind them to stop talking so much, but they are much more independent and able to do on their own!! This makes me happy. I am loving 6-man football. It is fast and fun to watch. It helps that our team has 45 the other 3 teams we have played so far!! It's been nice the 2 home games we have had, getting to come home early on Friday nights. What was strange for me was putting on black and gold instead of red and black the first day.
Ok, so this is my short little catch up! I promise to get back in the swing of blogging. It seems like I always have more to talk about during the school year when we actually have a social life!!!
