Sydney's 1st Day of School

Happy Fall!

It has been a pretty busy week for us here in the Maller household. Yesterday, Sydney started Kindergarten. She is in half day Kindergarten in the afternoons at Poplar Bridge Elementary School. So far she loves it. She is even pretty excited because she gets to ride the bus to and from school! :-)

Saturday mornings are soccer time for Sydney. She plays on the BAA Lions team. She has 6 other teammates and she loves it. Her coach is awesome with the kids and the best part is that one of her old preschool classmates is on her team! She has blocked several goals when having the opportunity to play goalie. We sure are proud of her.

Christopher will start preschool next Tuesday morning. Daddy will go with him while Sydney and Noah will go to child care at the preschool for the time that Christopher is in class. He is pretty excited and will have the same teacher that Sydney had her first year of preschool. He already talks all about teacher Gaye Lynn! He also will continue his speech group on Friday mornings with teacher Chris and is very excited about that!

Noah is 15 months now. He now weighs as much as his brother, but is slightly shorter. He has such a cute personality and is getting to be so much fun. He loves being with his brother and sister. He is starting to dance and clap a lot! Sometimes he enjoys books. He basically likes anything that his brother and sister have.

Brad and I have been keeping busy with work. Brad is trying to figure out when he wants to start taking college classes and I am getting ready for graduation! I graduate on September 25, but class is done for me on the 17th! :-) I am really looking forward to the break.

I had a job interview and was actually offered a job yesterday, but I had to turn it down because I would end up making less than I do now when you factor in the child care expenses. I was kind of bummed, I thought school would help to make things better, but so far it is not looking that way. Maybe after Sydney and Christopher get into school all day. A few years down the road I know, but day care is SO expensive!

I have included pictures from Sydney's 1st day of school, as well as various photos from over the summer including our camping trip to Big Sandy! Happy Fall.
