School

In the beginning of September, we all started school! I am teaching preschool and kindergarten at Capital Hill Academy.  Alden is in my preschool class. Calvin gets to go to a room with one other little boy in the school where one of the mothers watches him.  So far everyone seems to enjoy it.  Calvin has adjusted, Alden gets super excited every day for school, and I have loved it as well!

Alden's Birthday

 We made it to Utah just in time to celebrate Alden's 3rd birthday.  In the morning I went to my classroom to get things put together for the school year.  Michael and Alden went to a nearby park to play!  Alden had a great time playing and having some one on one time with Dad.

 After I was done at the school and they were done playing at the park, we headed over to the church museum to go to the part they have made for kids.  Both Alden and Calvin had a great time! It was fun we even ran into one of Michael's uncles while we were there.

At night we had a party with cousins, uncles, Grandma, Grandpa and some friends.  Alden had a great time!  He especially loved being able to meet and play with all of his cousins!

Moving

We left Mississippi the last day Michael was in the clinic.  I got all of the last minute things done and taken to the storage unit, loaded up the kids and picked Michael up a little after 5 when he finished at the school.

My aunt (well really she is my mom's cousin) let us stay at her cabin, it was 2 1/2 hours away, which was perfect.  It got us on our way and gave us a super nice place to spend the night.  We stayed and enjoyed the cabin for a few hours in the morning and then started our long journey to Utah.

Calvin's 1st Birthday

This was the actual day of Calvin's birthday.  Almost everything was moved into storage. All we had left was  this small table and chairs and some mattresses.  We had a fun and busy day.  

1 year old and 3 year old pictures!

 We started celebrating Calvin's birthday a little early.  Here he is with his 1st birthday cake!  The boys had gotten wet earlier so that is why neither is wearing a shirt.

 We are grateful to these two who have taken care of us these last three years.  We will miss seeing them.
