First Day of School and other late August news







Nolan started kindergarten Monday. Matthew hit the big 3rd grade hall (yes
- hall not portable although there are 3rd graders in the portables this year). All the 2nd graders were in portables last year so that means some are out there for the 2nd year in a row. Anyway, Nolan was so excited, popped out of bed saying "I wasn't asleep, my eyes were just closed!" And yes, teacher requests still work in this day and age - eve with 11 kinder teachers! We got the teacher we wanted!! Matthew's teacher is a winner too. We are very happy. It has been an adjustment for all of us but we are doing well. I think I am the most upset - worrying that the school is too big, Nolan is too overwhelmed, should I have put him in private kinder?, etc. etc. Colin also met his teacher yesterday- he starts next Wednesday. He is going to love school just like last year. Tonight we hit Nolan's open house - Marty actually got a sitter because he wanted us both to go! I am excited to see my sisters Dale (from Michigan), and Jo (from Houston) tonight - they are in for a visit. That's all for now.

Book Reviews

  • A Soft Place to Land - Susan Rebecca White. Any fiction novel which incorporates cooking is usually a favorite of mine. I will definitely be waiting for her next novel. I also love the setting of Georgia with all it's "southerness" and San Francisco with all it's progressiveness.
  • "More Than You Know" by Beth Gutcheon. I loved this book. A little troubling and spooky but a great read. It is set on the coast in Maine - such a different world from mine!
  • Friday Night Knitting Club - loved this one but was upset with the ending. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy stories with strong female bonds and roles. I am looking forward to the sequel.
