Noah had his Kindergarten Orientation today from 12 -2. He met his teacher Mrs. Futral and his teacher's aide, Miss Jackie, saw his classroom, how to get there, the cafeteria, the library and the ever important - boys restroom. I think we're ready for tomorrow, or I should say, I think he's ready... I don't know if I'll ever be ready... =) He seems excited though, so that is a good thing. More photos to come tomorrow and perhaps a recap of his day after he gets home.
The kids love to go the "New Park". I hear that quite a bit from Rachel, "Let's go to the new park, Mommy". She loves to swing. She could spend the whole trip to the park or even the whole day swinging and she'll be quick to tell you she wants to go high and fast. Noah likes to do it all and seems to enjoy the big climbing structure the most. After all the cool parks we had in Little Rock I was glad to find this one in Downtown Senoia. I was a little worried that we wouldn't find a good one since we are kind of out in the sticks, but we weren't disappointed - the kids love it. Hurray for a good park. =)
Rachel has been doing awesome with being potty trained! She is very excited about wearing her big girl panties and being 'big'. She loves to say "Mommy (or Daddy or Grammy or etc...) I not widdle anymore!". It's so cute to hear her say. She is very into being big and doing big girl stuff. We're so proud of her!
Noah showing off his gap. =) He's missing his front two bottom teeth! He just lost the second one a few days after we got to Georgia. He is getting to be such a big boy.
We love our backyard and it's funny to hear the kids talk about 'the woods'. They are very aware that there are lots of animals that live there including deer, rabbits, squirels, snakes, all kinds of bugs and spiders and lots of other animals. Noah kept asking to go on a big adventure so on the second or so day we were here, we all set out on an adventure to explore 'the woods' or the backyard. =) While we were traipsing around out there we heard a rooster crowing and Rachel immediately thought it was a wolf howling... I'm not sure exactly how that connection was made, but the rest of us kept trying to convince her that it was a harmless rooster crowing. Now she is afraid of the rooster that lives in the woods that makes the scary noises. She cracks us up, as usual. She won't even play in the sandbox outside if that rooster is crowing.
In these picture the kids were waiting for the moving truck to arrive to load up all of our stuff.
This photo was from the night before when the kids both slept in the tent because their beds were taken apart. They didn't mind, they think it's a special treat to sleep in the tent!
The moving truck
Hello Georgia!!
Noah, so very excited that we have steps in the new house!!
Rachel checking out her new room with Phoebe.
Doug and I trying to start the unpacking and arranging process....
The kids loved jumping on the bubble wrap and playing in the mountain (quite literally) of packing paper we piled in the dining room until we were ready to toss it all.
Happy kids in their new home. =) Life is good.
