Sick!

So we got up this morning, got dressed and went to school as usual. Kayla found me on the playground at a little after 7:30 AM to say "My stomach hurts and I have a sore throat." I sent her into the office and she had a normal temp. My hope was that as the morning went on she would start to feel better. No such luck. By 8:30 AM her cheeks were red and she looked like death warmed over, so home we came. Thankfully she's now sleeping with her faithful protector Tug by her side.

So tonight was the open house at Foster School. While I see the kids everyday at school and go into their classrooms once I get off of work it was fun to go in and see their rooms tonight and all of the students with their parents. The fun part for the kids was getting to see the room where Mommy works. So far we're off to a great year.

First Day of School

Kayla, 1st day of 5th grade
Cameron 1st day of 3rd grade

Yesterday was the first day of school. This year was different though. As usual there were the normal nerves but there were extra ones this year. Kayla and Cameron would be going to school at a different school this year. This year they would be attending Foster Elementary School where Mom works. I have to say I was a bit nervous for them and worried but they did fine and love their new school and their teachers. Kayla is a 5th grader in Mrs. Yon's class and Cameron is a 3rd grader in Mrs. Green's class. They love getting to see Mom at recess and love to give her hugs (which I love as well). Here's hoping we have a great year.

Labor Day 2009

So, Kayla went to my parent's house for the weekend and on Saturday we decided to go to the coast for the day. While it was rainy and yucky at home it was a beautiful day on the Oregon Coast. Windy at times but close to 70 at times too. We went shopping and stopped to walk in the sand and look at the ocean. There is just something about the ocean that calms my soul and makes me feel at peace. We don't go to the coast nearly as often as we should.
