The first day is all done, boy we're glad that's over!

Malia had a really great day!

I Made It!

Well the first week of school is done! I survived, it's amazing. I actually  have a great group of kids this year and I have the smallest class out of all 5 fourth grade teachers. Which is great, but it also means that I get the next couple of new kids. And now that the first week is over I only have 175 days of school left, haha...

Other good news, Malia is officially starting kindergarten on Monday. Nerve wracking for mom, but very exciting nonetheless. She's got a great teacher and did really well on her pre-kindergarten testing they did this week. She'll continue going to Miss Debi's in the mornings then she'll get on the bus that stops just two houses away and go to school. Then she'll come home with me after school. I hope it all works out the way I've planned it! We'll see!

Memory Game

So we got this idea from our friends Spencer and Sarah and thought it sounded like fun.

Here's how you play:

1. As a comment on our blog, leave one memory that you had with either Travis or Natalie, it doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot - - anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. it's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about one of us, we'll assume you're playing the game and we'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, we'll leave a memory of you in our comments.

Let the memories begin!
