Hello! Hello!

Is anyone there???? 

Hi second graders! I hope your first week in second grade was terrific. I've been thinking about you and I hope to see many of you very soon (we might come up for recess on Monday or Tuesday)!

We've enjoyed our first week of homeschool and are packing, packing packing....and more packing!  Our house is coming along great.  

It should be ready for our final walk-through (via Skype- so cool!) in two weeks!  We have the movers coming to load up all of our stuff on September 24th and we will start driving to CO on September 25th. We're going to stop in Omaha, NE to visit my sister and her family for a day along the way and hope to be in Denver on September 28th.

We can't wait!!

I'd love to hear from you if anyone is still reading our little first grade blog!  Post a comment and tell me all about second grade or about something fun you did this summer.  

I miss you!

New Adventure

As I shared this week, our family is getting ready to embark on a new adventure!  After calling Baltimore home for almost 20 years, we've decided it's time for a move.  In October, we'll be packing our things and moving just outside of Denver, Colorado (Castle Rock to be exact)!

When I told the kids on Friday, many of them asked questions about our new house so I told them I'd post a few pictures.

We are having a new house built, so when we were there it looked like this:

Just a snow covered lot! We're very excited about the open space behind our house!

 Here's a picture of what the outside will look like although our house will likely be a different color:

And here's one of the inside of the model home:

We'll have lots of room for guests, so Mason hopes his friends and their families will come to visit!  

First graders, how many different houses have you lived in or how many times have you moved?  Did you know that when I was growing up, I lived in 5 different states?  I was born in Minnesota but then we lived in California, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Maryland!  We moved a bunch.  Post a comment to share with us how many times you've moved.
