- Preschool & kindergarden starts the school year one week later than the rest of the school. The preschool boys started school on the 16th & 17th. Brenna and the rest of the girls will attend on the 18th & 19th. The full class of girls and boys start the rest of the school year together on Friday the 20th.
- We spent the weekend (13th – 15th) digging out from the dump truck of a moving van. While we made great strides, we still have some work to do.
- Mayflower arrived with all 11,000+ pounds of our stuff around 8:00 AM on the 12th. Fighting rain clouds but never seeing the rain the crew of three had the truck emptied out a little after 3:00 PM. Shortly thereafter the rain that had been threatening all day long finally made its appearance….in the form of a good ol’ southern downpour!
- Nicklas started the 5th grade on Monday the 9th. He likes his teacher and his classmates. Let’s have a great school year!
- Michaela & Paul drove to Loudon on Saturday the 7th. By 4:30 PM we were finally all together under one roof again. The kids were so excited they nearly knocked me over trying to get to Michaela to say hello!
- The moving van arrived just before 9:00 AM on the 6th. The crew of four cranked through the house in New Haven so fast things got onto the van that shouldn’t be going and were buried before we even knew they were on board. The truck was loaded and on its way to spend the weekend in Sterling Heights by 4:00 PM.
- On the 5th, the packers helped us finish getting ready for the moving van – which comes on the 6th.
- Both Nicklas & Brenna were registered for school on August 4th. Brenna is so excited to be starting. Nick, well, another school year…ho hum.
