1st Day of 1st Grade

WOW! I can't believe it, the 1st day of 1st grade has come and gone! What a day! Morgan was so excited about going to a new school, with new friends & a new teacher (who is NOT mean)! She seemed a little anxious last night. She didn't go to sleep for 2 1/2 hours after she went to bed. This morning I could tell she was tired, but very happy about getting ready. I packed her lunch in her new lunch box. She started getting a little nervous before it was time to leave. She said she was "just a little bit scared. Scared that someone will be mean to me. But I'm not scared of someone being nice to me." How sweet!

Like her bag? She picked it all by herself, and loves how big it is!

Grandma made a special pencil cake just for our little 1st grader!

It's yummy!

Momma & Morgan

She came home and told us all about her 1st day. She made new friends. Her teacher was nice to her, not mean at all! Morgan can't wait for her 2nd day of 1st grade. She already has homework. She has to read one book today. They put in her assignment book that she has to do the registration papers too, guess Mom has homework tonight! Thanks to Grandma & Papa for sharing our special day. Tonight we dine on Tacos, Morgan's favorite!

Sick Children

What a bummer! The last week of summer vacation and all the kids are taking turns getting sick. Morgan came down with some stomach thing Monday morning. It was something going around her mother's house. So, she spent all of Monday and Tuesday in bed. She finally started feeling better yesterday. We've all had some cold passed around our house. It hit David & me for almost 2 weeks. The boys had it but seemed to get over it. Now all of a sudden baby David has a come and go stuffy nose. Alex & David started with a cough yesterday. David's got pretty nasty during the night. Alex had some nastiness to his this morning, too. So, I took the boys to the doctor. They both have their right ears a little pink. There was no congestion in Alex's chest but she thought she heard some in David's. She gave both of them some antibiotics & they got a new nebulizer. It's so cute, a penguin, and the carry case is an igloo! I was going to wait to see how Alex did before I gave him the antibiotics, but he woke from his nap with a fever.

So, needless to say, I don't have a whole lot of fun stuff to blog about this week! Morgan did get registered for school yesterday. I can't believe summer vacation is almost over. I think it sucks, I'm going to miss her like crazy. I'll post some back-to-school pictures soon!

Papa

Today my Daddy is having surgery on his neck. The kids have been to see him several times since he was admitted Friday. We wanted to go see him this morning and take him his new slippers, but Morgan is sick. Sorry Daddy, wish we could be there! Our prayers are with you! Everyone else, say a prayer for my Daddy!
