"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

1st Day of School

Braeden, Preston and Laken had their 1st day at their schools the day after Labor Day. Braeden entered his last year at Washington Elementary and in Mrs. Melcher's 5th Grade. He ran for Student Council President, but was unsuccessful. It was a hard lesson in how sometimes people treat these things as a popularity contest and no who may actually do the best job. There were tears. But, on the positive side one of the other 5th grade teachers, Mrs. Hawkins complemented him on the speech he gave and told him he should be in theater. This year Preston is going all day to 1st Grade for the 1st time. He is in Miss Stolpa's class and was accepted into a program called lopping. This means he will have Miss Stolpa and all his classmates in class again next year. Being in school all day is really tiring business for Pudge.








Braeden was a proud big brother helping his brother get on the bus that morning. Last year the bus picked Pudge up in the afternoon right at our door, so this was a new experience for him. So, is school hot lunch. And, boy is it expense when you feeding two of them lunch. I can only imagine the bill for all 4 some day.



Laken is in Mrs. Kingland's 4B class at Trinity Nursery School. She loves her teacher with poofy hair and all her friends as many of her classmates from last year are in her class this year, too. She is working hard at learning how to write the letter "k".









The following week, Little Miss Clara had her 1st day of baby ECFE. Some of her classmates are: Heidi, Marty, Zeke, Cole and Nora. We love going each week to sing, play and have mommy talk.
