New Beginnings

Well, I'm back among the living! We are officially in our new house and unpacking the gazillion boxes that are strewn throughout. I can't believe that we moved during the hottest days that Louisville has seen in decades. Seriously, the temperature reached 102 degrees yesterday with a heat index of 110. Welcome to the surface of the sun.

On Tuesday, while our moving men were unloading our furniture, I high-tailed it to our daughter's final preschool program (she attends a year-round daycare/preschool). Poor Hubby had to stay behind with the movers. At least my mother-in-law was able to attend so Miss E. had plenty of family support.

It was bittersweet because she's moving onto an exciting time in kindergarten, but we're so going to miss her teacher, Ms. Cindy. She is fabulous. Luckily, Little Guy will be in her class in a couple of years. It was also difficult not having Ms. Carol there, whom we lost to cancer just a few weeks ago. Her sister and niece attended the program, which brought tears to our eyes. Above are some pics from the event. The kids made their own T-shirts, sang songs and received their certificates and gifts, which were two school folders and a pencil box full of school supplies. Miss E. was thrilled to have a Hannah Montana folder. Oy.

So, I'll start taking photos of the new house once I get a chance to breathe again. The move has taken a lot out of us. How is it that with all of that walking back and forth, climbing of stairs, and the constant sweating in the sweltering heat that I didn't lose a single pound? Maybe I just gained muscle from all of the lifting. Yeah, that's it. :)
