Dylan's 1st Day of Pre-K

Today Dylan started Pre-K. I don't know where the time has gone. When I woke him up this morning, I told him that we needed to get dressed because he had big boy school today. He got up, got dressed and was waiting at the door in 15 minutes. This is very unusual because normally he fights me about getting dressed.

We arrived at school at 12:45 since he is in the afternoon program (he spent the morning at daycare) and took a few pictures. When they opened the door at 1, he walked right in like he had been doing this all of his life. He didn't even look back. Robert & I stood at the door and watched him find his spot, sit down and start working.

Of course, when I picked him up, I asked him what he did today. His response??? "I don't know. " I want to hear details. He's my baby and more than likely the only one I will ever have. He will never have a FIRST 1st day of school ever again and I don't really know what he did.

Summer 2008 in Review

I've recently noticed that I haven't blogged much, at all, since May 13th. It has been quite the emotional summer. Towards the end of the school year, my sister in law was diagnosed with a brain tumor and required surgery. We later discovered that it was cancer. She has just finished 6 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. We are praying that all goes well.

In June, we celebrated Dylan's 4th birthday. Where has the time gone. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was bringing a 7 lb - 21 inch bundle of joy home from the hospital. Now he is 44 inches and weighs 66 lbs and starting Pre- Kindergarten next Friday. Dylan & I also got to spend some time with some very dear friends from Norway, Nick and Lonnie Myklebust. I didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw them.

July was pretty uneventful, with me returning to work after 6 weeks (ugh). We were supposed to be in our new building by Aug 1, but with all of the rain it has been pushed back. We are hoping to be in by the middle of October, but I am NOT holding my breath. Whenever we get it will be wonderful. http://www.kansas.com/209/story/475003.html

August so far has been much the same as July. Trying to get Dylan and myself back into the school routine of getting up early and out the door on time. It doesn't always happen the way I want it to, but it's getting better. Now I will just have to get into the routine of picking him up at 12:30 to take him to school.
