Well, the boys started school! Andrew had his first day of Kindergarten on Friday. He LOVES it! He feels like such a big boy riding the bus and hasn't come home crying! It did break my heart when he asked where his dad was while we were waiting for the bus.... Mo started preschool on Monday. He is with the same teacher he had last year, so he feels very much at home. He loves school too. Lets just hope it lasts! Noodle was adorable when Andrew left for school, she started crying, saying "I want Andrew". So glad my kiddos love each other!

Updates

I promise, we aren't ignoring our blog! We have been having trouble getting pictures to upload, still a work in progress! Everyone has been keeping busy around here. Getting ready for back to school. This week Andrew starts kindergarten, Mo goes back to preschool next week. Soccer starts next week and we will hopefully be resuming piano lessons shortly! We are really looking forward to getting back into a routine around here. Still working on our house, kind of at a stand still right now just b/c we have done so much, so fast. So we are taking a couple of weeks off and then we will get started again and have everything done by spring. For those who don't know, we have completely redone the living room, new furniture, paint and trim. The kitchen got a new floor, fridge and table, just need to paint in there. The bathroom was gutted, new floor, vanity, beadboard on the walls, just need to finish painting in there. Noodle got a big girl bed, a new door and trim. The boys got bunk beds, but still need to paint, redo trim and put up wood blinds. The basement is cleaned out and once our friend Sarah moves out (she needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks while she found a new place since she and her husband are divorcing too) we will be updating down there to be our kid area, table and chairs for homework and projects, big open play area for running during the cold weather. The upstairs got one room done with new wood floor, drywall and trim work, need to lay floor in the other room and staircase, put in the walk in closet, and then we will be totally done! Until we start on the yard again in the spring! It has been very refreshing and helped a lot to start over new, this is our house now and we are making it the way we want it, it's been very liberating! So, we'll keep working on getting our pics up and keep you all updated on everything we are up to!
