Sarah starts Dance & Preschool!

Sarah is missing her brother Kaden now that he has gone to school, but she is finding things to do while he is gone. She started preschool this week. It is with a couple other kids from our church. Each week they spend 2 days at one house for 2 1/2 hours and then rotate to another house the next week. The mom's are the teachers, so it works out for all of us.

Here are a couple fun pics of Sarah I took last month... Just had to put them on here.

Sarah and Madyson are growing closer and closer as Kaden is now gone to school all day. Sarah is having to adjust to her brother being gone, but is staying very busy. She started her weekly dance class at Sheena's Dance Academy, Aug 26th, which is a tap/ballet combo class. She absolutely loves it! Madyson and I hang out and watch through the little window for the 45 minutes she is in class. It is so much fun!

She is growing so fast and mom is grateful to have her at home for a couple more years. She and Mady have so much fun together. Love you Sarah!

Kaden's starts Kindergarten and turns 5!

Kaden is officially our big Kindergartner. He was so excited to go and just loves it! His teacher is Mrs. Solomon and we've heard very good things about her. She's been teaching elementary school for over 30 years. Kaden is 1 of 10 boys in his class and there are 7 girls. He starts at 8 am and goes until 3 pm. He gets to eat lunch and everything. He just loves that part! We are very happy to be able to be involved with a wonderful school district here in Texas, Frisco ISD. It is really amazing!

Here are a few shots.

Kaden's new teacher, Mrs. Solomon, sent this poem home on his first day of school.

The First Day of Kindergarten

On the first day of school everything

is new.

It's your first day with me, and my

first day with you.

I've been waiting for today.

Have you been waiting, too?

You look just like yourself, so

I feel at home with you.

There's a hook for your backpack,

There's a tag with your name.

There's a chair and a place for you,

I'm so glad you came!

The rest of the summer...2010

The summer has come and gone and I'm sure I'm missing something, but I thought I would try and get a few more posted before it was like Halloween or something. We had a wonderful summer and enjoyed the water several times. We had a great visit with The Trevon Hauth family in August while they were here in Texas, and the kids and I got to go the the Frisco Aquatic Center with Jeanette, Erin and kids. It was a blast! The kids had so much fun. They earned their passes from turning in their reading logs at the Frisco library. Here are some random photos as well as the ones from the swim park.

Madyson discovered the cabinet in her bedroom and now she and Sarah play in it regularly.

They had pretty strict rules at the aquatic center...Kaden couldn't wear these goggles or his arm floaties. He still had a blast though.

Here's little Mady playing

Kaden doing his karate moves on the fountains.

We made a chain for Kaden at the beginning of August to count down the days till school started. It was amazing how fast those 28 days flew by. Now we're into September and having the rain storm of the year!
