All the kids are back in school!

7 1/2 years in the making, but it has finally happened! All 3 kids are in school for at least part of the day. I have two full mornings twice a week with no "helpers". I must say the car was a little quite and I kept opening up the van doors to let the kids out of car seat:) They all really seem to like their teachers. Hannah has her best friend in her class so she was thrilled (and the teacher seems good too). Nolan is liking kindergarten, but has decided they have to sit still too much and there are no snacks (a true boy). And Josh loves riding his bike down the street to where he goes to preschool. So here's to a great school year for all!

My first blog

My first blog!
I know many of you are pros at blogging and I love to read what you are up to and see your pictures, so I thought I would give it a try! We are really enjoying our time in Utah so far, except for the snow! We live just past the point of the mountain (if you know where that is!) and we have some big hills. Needless to say I have had a crash course on driving in the snow. Hannah's bus driver even had a hard time getting the kids home on Friday. A bad storm with white-out conditions came through just as school go out. The bus bumped into a car that slid through the intersection and then could not get up the rest of the hill. The police would only let kids go home with the parents so I went down to get her. Well, I could not make it up the hills in my van either so I luckily a nice neighbor had a toe rope and pulled me the rest of the way home! I am thinking I might need a 4 wheel drive! Of course, the kids think it is so very exciting!
