Kindergarten, PreK and Changes.


School is in full swing at our house. Both Linley and Thayer started this past Tuesday with just a half day. The transition went better than either of us anticipated. Linley is loving Kindergarten even though she is there all day. She was more hesitant than Thayer the first day but has warmed up tremendously. Thankfully eating lunch at school and meeting new friends were her only concerns, which she has adjusted to both very well. She loves her teacher and the kids in her class.



Thayer is attending Linley's old preschool and loves every minute. He is more of our shy one and we were a bit concerned at how well he would do being dropped off. Fortunately it's no problem whatsoever. His teachers are great as well. The challenge has proved for Kip and I with the drop off; both Linley and Thayer start at the same time.


We look forward to watching both kids establish new friendships, engage in new experiences, and make memories this school year!


On a side note, our house has been saddened with the recent loss of Kip's grandma. Along with the transition of school, we have had to adjust to losing a great woman. Every week the kids visited her and loved the time they got to spend at her apartment...their many trips to Ray's for something sweet, new toys from Mr. P's or just a fun game of hide-n-seek. We will truly miss her and were not ready to let her go. Thank you to all of our friends and family for your support and comforting words during this hard time for our family.

I am so sorry to hear about Kips grandma. I met her several times and I know the kids were close to her. Thinking and praying for you all.

Hope that school keeps going well for all of you and that we get to see you soon!
