Brady's 1st day!

Brady had his first day of kindergarten today! He was so excited! We have kept a calendar so he could count down the days. We had gone to a Kindergarten open house last week. We were able to get to know his teacher better, she went over the class rules, we brought all his supplies and she had a little scavenger hunt that we did so the kids could start to learn the room and the school. So we had already gotten a little taste of things before the first day.
Bethany & I took Brady to school this morning and were able to walk him to his classroom. I was able to get a hug from him before we went inside the door. ;) He went right to his seat and was ready to go! It was hard for me to leave, I just stood there for a few seconds. Then I knew I needed to go, so I said a quick "Bye" to Brady and he DID say "Bye" back, but it was obvious he was ready for me to go. At first it made me sad that he was so eager to leave me, but then I realized I should be happy that he was excited and wanting to go to school. I didn't cry until we got to the car, I put Bethany in her carseat and as I walked to get in myself hit me. Whew! The rest of the day I just kept myself busy, the day went fast. I picked him up and he ran and gave me a hug. It was so good to see him, he was happy so I knew everything went good. We chatted about his day on the way home. I'm so excited to see how much he grows throughout the year!!
Life changes, kids grow up, but the memories we have of each new adventure with them will always remain.

Brady's teacher, Mrs. Rengert gave all the parents this poem:

The First Day

I gave you a little wink and smile
As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You've been with him for five years now
And have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave him at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
I'll love him as I would my own
And help him learn to grow.
For as a parent, I too know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day soon it will be my turn
To take my child to class.
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more
For I will love him and take him in
When you leave him at my door.

(Can I get another "Whew!") :)

Our new home!

We officially closed on our NEW HOUSE tonight!
We have been waiting so long for this moment, we are so excited to start our new life in this house.

We have lots of interior work to do on it before we move in, it will be a totally new house when we are done with it. We hope to be able to move in around mid September.
We will be eager to have our family and friends over after we get all settled.

Keep us in your prayers as we embark on this new adventure!!

I'll try and keep you posted of the progress, but forgive me if it's not too frequent.

Here is a picture:

Heeheeheee! WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED!!!!! :)

A home for Simon

Hello Friends!

We are looking for a special home for Simon. Simon was rescued last year and given to us to take care of, we have worked with him and now he is ready to go to a new home. He is very gentle and absolutely wonderful with kids. Simon is about a year old. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is also litter trained. Simon would make a great companion. I call him my little shadow. He follows me and comes when I call. I have attached some picture below.
He is ready to love and snuggle up with a new family!

Please let me know if you or if you know someone that would want to give Simon a home.

Thanks,
Amanda Cameron
