Wordless Wednesday: Results of A Day at the Water Park

New Everything

Since we sold our house we have moved in with a friend and Madison had to change schools. The junior highs here are only in 7th & 8th grade. Madison is in the 8th grade, so that meant only one year at the new school. Her old school had about 650 kids and her new school has over 900!
The school is very large, very confusing, very busy and very crazy in the mornings.
She also had to ride a new bus and try to find her "stop" in a neighborhood that she is not that familiar with.
To say the least, she was terrified on her first day of school.

She texted me after school and told me the buses were running late, so I told her just to call when she got home.

The next phone call I got was her in TEARS. Oh, no, what happened?

In her concentration mind set on the bus, watching the roads and looking for the correct bus stop, she left her phone on the bus.

She was beside herself. Once she calmed down, I did find out a few things.

• The kids were nice to her.


• She liked her classes.


• She liked her teachers.


• She met new friends.


• The kids welcomed her into the new band class.


• The kids were nice to her.

Day 2 went just as well and the bus driver had her phone.

Since we are in complete limbo waiting on our new house to be completed, things are constantly chaotic. I'm so thankful that things went well for her.

Here's to good days to continue.

To Infinity and Beyond

Spencer had a wonderful birthday and he LOVED all of his gifts. His big sister got him a full size Buzz Lightyear with all the bells and whistles (literally).
He has been OBSESSED with him ever since he got it.
So, we found something interesting on Sunday, see if you can figure it out.

Buzz' foot from the movie.

Yes, here is how the conversation went.

"Spencer, what are you doing?"

"Spencer's Buzz"

Yes, it is Spencer's Buzz and not Andy's Buzz

Getting Close

Our new house is coming along. We are in the final stages and have lots of things to make decisions about. We will be meeting with our builder on Tuesday to go over the cabinets, paint and other smaller details.
The weekly visits to the new house really help us see that there is an end to this crazy roller coaster we have been on for six months.
The highlight this week was the fact that tile is being put in and all of the walls are complete and ready to be painted.

But, the awww factor for me was the completion of the rock on the garage.

I really like the outside of the house and I cannot wait until the full porch is complete.

I think this is so beautiful.

I'm giddy.
