Back to School

Yesterday was Hayes' first day back to preschool. He is now in the 4 year old class at Brandermill Church Preschool. He will be going to school 3 mornings a week and so far he loves it. Dropped him off yesterday and he quickly said goodbye to Bryce & I and headed inside. We are so happy he enjoys school so much! Hopefully he will continue to feel that way.

Saying good bye to summer

Since we have officially had Labor Day, I guess you could say summer has come to an end. The boys and I spent our last week of summer in Pennsylvania visiting with my parents. We had a really nice time just hanging out with Nana & Granddaddy, mostly swimming in the pool. We did make one trip to New Hope, PA to ride the New Hope/Ivyland train The boys really enjoyed their train ride and it was actually a pretty relaxing 45 minutes or so for me. :)




We were also able to visit with friends while in Pennsylvania a few from highschool for me and also friends of ours from college who have recently moved to NJ. We had a really nice visit and are sad we may not get back up to PA again until Christmas!

Since the end of summer has come, we are busy getting ready for the fall and all that comes with it. Chris & I have both started back with our classes and Hayes will start preschool again this coming Monday, September 8th. Hayes is very excited about getting back to school and being around kids on a regular basis again.
We are also in the process of having our kitchen renovated. Currently we have the new cabinets in and are waiting to hear when our sink and countertops will be installed. Should be sometime next week! Here is a before picture of the kitchen


And here it is with the new cabinets and paint.



I will update with more progress as soon as it happens. :)
