Getting ready for school




As most of you know Sydney starts Kindergarten this year and Gabriella Pre-K. They are both really excited. Sydney has decided that she wants to take her lunch so she and I are going out to get a lunch bag today. Want to bet a princess one. She got to go pick out her drink box and snacks to put in her lunch she is thrilled. Gabriella on the other hand got to go meet her new teacher and we are so glad it is Ms. Deb that Sydney had last year. She knows the family and already knows Gabby. Gabby is very excited but we are expecting some academic issues. Still trying to figure out if it might be ESOL (English Speakers of other Languages) or a processing disorder. But, Ms. Deb is aware of what we are thinking and will test her. This is a good thing. She worked on her abc this summer and is doing a much better job staying in the lines when she colors. Sydney got to meet her new teacher and is ready to go to school. Sydney has signed up for fall softball and Girl Scouts. I pushed for the Scouts it taught me a lot when I was a kid. Gabby will join next year you have to be 5. We are looking for a new dance place for Gabby (her old one is not available at the present). We're considering putting her in Gymnastics. There is a place not far from my school that might work out. That's about it for the new info. on the kids. They are doing great. As always the loves of my life. I have been back at school now for three weeks and the kids have been back for a week and a half. Loving what I am doing. We will play our first football game in the next three weeks at our new stadium. I'll send some photos it is fantastic. Better cut off here.
As you can tell the girls are ready. Gabriella has her Dora bookbag we got in Guatemala and Sydney has her Auburn bookbag. She also has one her Gigi got her so she is planning on using both bags for school.
Love to all our family and friends.
