Wow, Jane is in kindergarten all day. I miss her. Lincoln misses her. She is loving it. She is in her element. She is following all of the rules, has new crayons, and already has two best friends (and one "sort of" best friend, but only because he goes to church at the same time as her).
On the first day of school, the kids got to shake hands with the principal, give Sharky a high-five, and walk in on the red carpet. School is going well, the kids have good teachers, and we're walking to and from school most days. I appreciate the structure of school and the way it helps us to manage our time.
We realized on the second to last day of summer vacation that we hadn't been to a drive-in. The kids packed up the bean bags, Jer filled the cooler with otter pops, and off we went. We saw Toy Story 3 (fabulous!) and Despicable Me (I understand it was really good, I fell asleep). Now that's a fun tradition!
We had a fantastic day at Cowabunga Bay. and yes, it is as fun as it looks! The lazy river and pool were so comfortably warm that Lincoln fell asleep while we were in the water. There were clever squirt guns on the walks up to the water slides and lots of cool slides. An added surprise bonus was seeing some friends there.
We filled the last couple of weeks before school started with good things. We enjoyed a couple of hours at Wheeler Farm with friends.
Girls camp was a few weeks back, we spent three days at the cabin. Our focus came from Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
