First Day of School

We had our first day of school on Monday August 25. The kids were so excited, they got up before I did. Emily is now is 3rd grade. She has Ms. Manuel and Mrs. Saphos. Both of them love her to death, mainly because she already knows how to do everything...(being a teacher's kid does have some pluses). Richard is in 1st grade...his teacher is Mrs. Nickel. He really enjoys it. Apparently Richard's backpack makes him popular...the kids all holler when he comes up.

We have an announcement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Monday, we all decided as a family that we need to add another member to our family. So, we are recusing a dog from a high kill facility. We will be getting a Bassett Hound...Em and Rich have already named him Walker. Because of the storm we had come through, we have to wait to pick it up on Wednesday...pictures will follow.
