So, it's been a week since I last posted. After a day or two of not posting, I begin to get overwhelmed because I keep thinking of things to post about and it all starts adding up in my head. I actually have a post written about looking for a new congregation, but it feels more like a journal entry. I'm not sure it would be interesting to anyone but me, so for now I'll just keep it to myself. I will eventually get some pictures of the house on here, but I don't want to put any messy pictures on here. (All I can think of is Kelli's house and her pictures on her house blog!) So, I guess I'll just update everyone on what's going on around here.
The boys went back to school yesterday. They were really nervous, but they came home and said they had a great day. Of course they already have friends, and I know they'll get used to things soon. The school is definitely different from last year. I knew it would be hard for me to get used to things too, but I think I'm having a harder time than the boys. The school seems nice enough and their teachers are friendly, but it's just different. We wanted to be out in the country a little more than we were, and we definitely got our wish. I just keep telling myself that different isn't bad, and I truly believe that...but it doesn't make it easy. One thing I found interesting is that they still use "corporal punishment." I had to sign saying that they could or could not be paddled. (Keith and I said no. Hopefully it will never be an issue for us.) I didn't know that anyone still used a paddle. One funny thing...Avery's teacher's name is Mrs. Fox. It's funny because he had a Mrs. Fox for kindergarten and first grade. Brady had a Miss Fox for kindergarten also. As soon as I saw that they had a teacher with the last name Fox, I just assumed that's who he would have.
Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll get some pictures of the kids on here. I'm tired of looking at my blog without any pictures.
