Just a Blog!

I don't have any pictures to add today!  Just a few updates....

* We have moved and are settled in to the new house.  We still have some minor things to do before everything gets going full swing.  We don't have a stove, we ordered one they sent the wrong one so we are waiting, I think since it has been 2 weeks we may just have to settle with the wrong one.  We need a bathroom painted and a few cabinets painted and the rest is just finding time to unbox and get settled in.

* We will be putting our house up for sale VERY SOON... So if you know anyone interested please let us know!

*The girls have started back to school and seem to be enjoying this year.  Tillery loves it that she is at school with Taylor as do I and her dad, it makes life so easy with them in one location.  They have both been doing great so far.  Homework in 3rd grade is something else.  I am learning all over again.  Taylor was accepted into the gifted program and will go to the Intermediate School to learn with the more advanced students once a week beginning next week, I can't wait to see how this goes!

*It's time for softball again!  The girls decided to put up their pompoms this year and play fall ball.  Last year they cheered and this year they want to play softball.  They will be on the same team THANK YOU JESUS!!!!  Adam will be coaching them.

*Adam has been preaching every Sunday at Seale Baptist Church in Seale Alabama.  It is amazing to me to hear him, you ought to come if you are not doing anything on Sunday morning!

*Adam started school yesterday, he has 2 semesters left so I loaded him down this semester.  He is taking 5 courses.  That is right 5!  Most are electives and should be easy... Biology, Nutrition, Wellness, Community Health, Management....  Lets see if he gains any more gray this semester..... 

That is all of the updates I can think of.  I promise to get pics posted as soon as we have a second! 

Gotta go back, back, back to school again....

So Yesterday was the First Day of School...

Everyone woke up and we actually had a good morning.  Both girls were a bit nervous, but excited as well.  We had gone shopping Sunday to get some last minute school supplies so the girls were fired up about using their new stuff!  We got ready, had breakfast and headed out the door.

This picture was taken with Adam's phone so it is a bit blurry...  This is Tillery on her first day of "Big Girl School".  She was so excited.  I will post better pictures from my camera later.  We arrived at school after waiting in line for quite some time and took Taylor to her room first.  She went to sit in her desk and wanted us to leave.  I guess she is getting to that age where we embarrass her.  We took Tillery to her room.  She led the way the whole way to her room.  When we turned the corner to her hallway, I thought that I was going to cry.  When we got to the doorway, she completely stopped.  She didn't want to go.  We got her in and to her desk, she kept wanting bye hugs and kisses.  We left and there she was in "Big Girl School".  As the day went on I could not wait to pick them up to find out how their day went.  Tillery told me that she loved it!  She was mad that they only got "3 minutes" at recess.  She was also upset that we took her lunch and she wanted to have lunch there.  So today we fixed that problem.  She said that she was good and that she loved Mrs. Hedges.  Taylor told us that she liked it, getting her to tell us anything...we have to pull it out of her.  She had a great day, but both were completely exhausted.  This morning both girls got up and were ready to go, to me this is a good sign that yesterday went well.  As I drug Tillery out of the bed this morning she told me that yesterday at the playground she saw her sister and her sister would not play with her.  She told us this as we woke her up this morning so we didn't know if she had been dreaming or if she was telling the truth.  We all giggled..  As Tillery woke up she said it again, Taylor was there and laughed too.  Come to find out they were at PE yesterday around the same time and Tillery wanted to play with Taylor and Taylor would not play with her.  So I guess mom and dad are not the only thing right now that embarrass Taylor.  I guess she is at that age!

Welcome to 3rd Grade

Last night we had orientation for Taylor. We went in and it felt a little like dejavu. We picked out the shirts from PTA. And Taylor picked out the exact same ones Tillery did. We went in to Taylor's class. She got Mrs. Laney. Taylor's best friend Katherine Williams is in her class. She knew several of the other kids in her class so she was excited. We sat down and listened to Mrs. Laney. She told us about her and went on to tell us about all of the class rules. She stated that they are on the color system, similar to the red light system but more mature. They will have all of the subjects this year and the tests this year will be weighted. This means we will be doing a lot more studying. Taylor is ready to start Monday and so am I. This is going to be a great year!

HAPPY WORKING SONG

OHH HOW I WISH THIS WOULD WORK!
i COULD USE A HAPPY WORKING SONG AND ALL THE HELP THAT COMES WITH IT...

I'm a Big Girl Now!

Wow how time flies!  Monday night we rushed home from the beach to get Tillery to her Kindergarten Orientation.  She was so excited.  The only thing she was worried about was who was in her class.  We hurried in the door from the beach, changed clothes and grabbed her school supplies.  We got to the school and Tillery knew exactly where to go and was not shy a bit.  She picked out her t-shirts that PTA was selling and headed to her classroom.  When we got in Mrs. Hedges classroom we began to put up her supplies.  She looked around and found her name on her desk.  As all the kids began to come in she was so excited that she knew several of them.  Our neighbor was in her class, a girl from church, a little girl who she started off in daycare with and Nathan Cox, they have been together since they were babies.  Mrs Hedges began her introduction and told her class rules.  Tillery sat very quitely ( to my surprise ) and listened.  She told about how the discipline policy in her class was a red light /green light system.  Tillery listened to everything she said.  We finished up there and Tillery wanted to see where Taylor's classroom was going to be.  We found it and Adam was explaining to her how he would bring them in every morning.  He told her that he would bring Taylor in and let her walk by herself and then walk Tillery to her room.  Tillery insisted that she could do it by herself. We go back Thursday night to find out Taylor's class rules and find out who is in her class.  I have a feeling that this is going to be a great year!
