The Move

Oh my...I certainly did fall behind!  But I had an excuse this time!  We moved!  Boy--it was sure a crazy process.  I think the worst is behind us though.  They didn't end up getting all our stuff on the moving truck, so we didn't get everything in the initial load.  That was frustrating when we realized what we were missing!  We finally got it all this past Wednesday, though, so now we're all set.  Since we've been here, Eli has started preschool at Windsor Street Montessori School.  It's a great program, and we really like the teachers there.  It's taken him a while to get adjusted to a new school/new teachers/new friends, but he's getting there.  And another big change for Eli is that he's now potty-trained!  I'm so proud of him--he got the hang of it very fast!  We still have a couple accidents here and there, but overall he's done!  Hannah began 2nd grade at Mill Creek Elementary School with her teacher Mrs. Harl.  We are really excited about her teacher--she seems to be wonderful!  We've already seen lots of checked work coming home (didn't have much of that at all last year!) and a great deal of communication, which I think is wonderful!  Eli has started a soccer class called "Little Kickers."  It's a small class with about 6 or 7 three-year-olds and Coach Adam.  He does lots of little soccer drills, and it's amazing how much they learn!  I think having such a small class makes it easier for them to learn and get feedback!  Hannah has started piano with Ms. Vitt, and we think she's wonderful too!  She's already got lots of wonderful music to practice, even after week 1!  The kids have a new favorite place to visit--a great little splash park with a playground close by!  I am still searching for a job.  I've contacted several people, so I'm hopeful that something will come up somewhere sometime!  Overall, we're all doing great here!  Living within 10 minutes of Nannie and Paw Paw is awesome!  Almost too good to be true!  More updates to come...but for now, I'm signing off!
