Exciting Daze

We have had a few very exciting last couple of days. First Alyssa and Megan started "ballet" class on Tuesday. They actually let me leave them in the studio with a new teacher pretty easily. It was much harder getting them out when the class was over. They really loved it! Plus they look so adorable.

Yesterday was the big day...YES our stuff arrived!! Halleluiah! The long wait is over (August 26th was the original date it was to be delivered.). It was a good thing too because the kids were getting a little too pathetic with their limited toy selection. Just that morning Alyssa got all upset to find her "special toy", a tattered green ribbon, in the garbage. Drew empathized by saying he would be very upset too if he found his "special toy", a long white twist tie, in the garbage.

Also yesterday Rick picked up his car that he bought two weekends ago. These last two items close the book on significant things we had to get/do to be settled.

And last but certainly not least Drew read a story to us!! When I unpacked his books from our shipment I showed him the beginner reading books for when he starts reading. He picked one up and started sounding out the words and reading it! I was a little too excited so he stopped after a page but later read the book to Rick!
