House progress

It has started!!! It's so exciting! We've had three homes so far but, we've never had the opportunity to build a house just like we want it. On the exact lot we want! We actually found the neighborhood that we're building in by a google search...when we didn't even know we were moving to TN! It was just on a dream search. One of those web searches that Ryan and I would do at least once a week. Usually on the back patio over a few margaritas. We loved it! We knew we had to do our research once we actually moved here so the kids and I put at least 400 miles on our rental car back in July looking all around Franklin and Nolensville. Nope. Nothing. Nothing compared.

So here we are!! I do have to admit, this is a very exciting process to watch:-)

Foundation started!!

Kindergarten!!!

Hunter and Reagan started Kindergarten! As I'm sure every single parent of a Kindergartner asks, I will also...where did the time go??? Seriously! I know before I know it, I'll be dropping them off for middle school. That thought just scares me:-(

They both have different teachers. It's the first time in their lives that they've been apart in a classroom. Hunter doesn't seem to mind but Reagan doesn't like it at all. She not only misses Hunter in class with her but, she really misses her best friend and cousin Trevor. This transition has been much harder on those two (Reagan and Trevor) than I ever thought it would:-(

Okay, okay... on to happier talk!!! The kids are attending College Grove Elementary School which is our zoned school for where we will live once our house is done. I couldn't be more excited about how awesome their school is! It's K-5 with only 270 students. Reagan has 16 kids in her class and Hunter has 17. There are only two Kindergarten classrooms. Gotta love that student/teacher ratio!!

Hunter with Mrs. Richey

Reagan with Ms. Coley

Hunter said to me this morning: "I wish I had Ms. Coley for a teacher." Of course I assumed it's because Reagan is in her class but I still asked him why. He answered: "Because she's soooo cute!" HA!

We made it!

Well... actually we made it here a week and 2 days ago:-) So far, I have to admit, it's been pretty exciting. Other than the lovely apartment living, it's been a bit like being on vacation. Thankfully we got to move to a place that has TONS to offer and visit and see. Most of my time has been spent getting these two kiddos ready for their first days of Kindergarten. Reagan starts this Thursday and Hunter starts Friday. WHOA!!!

Here's some pics from their last weekend before school doing some touristy stuff. Thank goodness for weekends!!
