Goodbye...Hello...

I wrote this last Friday...

Today, this day, we say Goodbye.
Goodbye to the life as we know it.
Goodbye to preschool and a little boy.
Goodbye to our friends and familar faces / places.

Today, this day, we say Hello.
Hello to a new home with new surroundings.
Hello to a new school and friends.
Hello to my young boy who will be embarking on a new journey.
And finally Hello to Marcus's own backyard!!!

I am so proud of my son today as he goes thru this accomplishment of life. So many more to come but he must begin somewhere. I truely am grateful and proud to be his mommy. Now hand me a tissue...

First Week

What a week. Marcus officially became a Kindergartener (is that really a word?) and loved his new scholol, we moved and I have completely unpacked our new place in exactly 1 week! We also managed to throw in some swimming, shopping, a zoo visit, and a trip to our new library. Needless to say I am exhausted and haven't had much sleep. I now need a vacation to relax...not going to happen!

We are loving the new place...it's even better uncluttered and box FREE. Marcus likes his bigger room and even his closet now since I fixed it to where he could actually reach his clothes! Plus he is an adult kid (his words) since he now has real tv and a remote in his room. "Mommy, I can pause and record my own stuff!" This can't be healthy from a 5 year old :(

Marcus is loving his backyard complete with a swimming pool at his leisure (thanks Granny)!
I must say though it is a little wierd finding new things and not knowing where is everything is on the back of your hand. It's been nearly 10 years since I went thru this kind of change so it's quite an adjustment but I am learning!

First full weekend at the new place entailed a bright and early wake up call to leave the house at 815am to head to Mesquite for T-Ball. What the heck was I thinking???

Thanks again to everyone who has helped out this past week!!! We truely appreciate it :)
