School has started!




We have been having problems with our internet so sorry these pictures are late for those of you who have been anxiously awaiting them.

Everyone started school Monday the 27th. Elijah and I walked Jackie to school and then we drove to his preschool. The walk is beautiful, big trees, gorgeous homes and families everywhere walking their children to school.

Jackie has had a great first week. She has made a new 'best friend', Hailee.

Elijah is really enjoys his time there but is a little apprehensive in the morning. I think he will soon grow out of this.

Jason has had a very busy week although I don't think it was as tough as he thought it would be. He has more info on his blog.

We are enjoying our weekend. Saturday morning I walked to the farmers market, which I do every Saturday, with Liz our law school friend who joined us at the beach. Then we went to the McClain Celtic Festival. It was awesome! There was tons of live music, shopping, dancing, sheep dog demonstrations and kids games, or game I should say. It was held on the grounds of a beautiful old historic home, the Two Mile House. It was like being in Ireland for the day and then you walk to the front of the house, cross the street and you're in the K-Mart parking lot. It's crazy. It's like that everywhere here, I guess because of all the foliage. Monday we might visit a Mennonite farm where they make a lot of wonderful cheese including goat and sheep which Elijah can have. We are missing you all!!

It's great to see the kids first day of school. Jackie I need to know more about your new friend! Elijah please let grandma know about your school! Nicole I love how you are submerging yourself into the Carlisle community. Can't wait to get back there because you and your family will be such a part of the town that you'll know just where to take me!!!

The kids look so cute on their first day. Love Elijah's hair cut. Cute, cute.
You are doing some of the neatest things. Enjoy it all for me. We have been getting rain, (yea!) so the lawns look pretty green, but nothing compared to what you are used to now. Hope you get your job. Miss you all.
