I can't believe school is already to start, in Nebraska they start on the 17th. All together we went to register the kids for school. Braxton will be in first grade and Katie was going to go to Kindergarten. Wes and I have been debating back and forth if she should go or wait one more year. She just barely turned five and has more interest in her dolls and toys than learning and going to school. When we discussed this with the principal and also found out they go to school from 8:05 to 3:20 every day, we decided she is not quite ready. All day and everyday is too much for her or maybe me. So instead Katie, Marshall and I get to learn and play together while Braxton gets to go to school. Another different thing in NE is there are no buses to the school unless you will way out of town so you usually get to pick your school as long as the classes aren't full. We researched and talked to lots of different people. The school we are sending him to is a little school named Osgood. This brings back so many memories, the same name as my elementary in Idaho and about the same size and family oriented. On the way home from the school we stopped by one of the few things to do in North Platte, the Lake. I would let the kids play in the water and get dirty because they had their school clothes on, but we still had fun.

You have made a wise decision when it comes to Katie. There is no proof that an early start is good for a child. There is loads of proof that late birthdays often struggle - emotionally, physically or mentally with the kids at the other end of the calendar.
Even today- my best friends are from the class below me. I was just never a part of the group being the youngest in my class.
I am going to really enjoy the blog. You might connect with Jen. She is doing preschool at home with Nicholas and could use someone to bounce ideas with! ~Aunt Nettie
I miss you! So glad you have a blog so I can keep in touch!
I'm so glad you made it! The pix of the kids are so cute. You need to enjoy every minute of not working and just being with your family. I miss you and hope all continues to go well!
I changed the comments so now you are able to comment too. I like to have it as a seperate window that opens because it is easier to work with. The deleted comment from above was me testing it out for you, so sorry! Do you like your cute new background? I think it turned out cute and it helps that there are such cute kids on it! :) Miss you and Love you!
yeah now thanks to great lou I can comment back. Anut Nettie, I am glad to hear that you think I did the right thing you are a smart woman and in education so glad to know. I struggled with it for quite some time. The kids and I want to come see you guys, let us know when is good for you either some weekend or Braxton has a break in October.
@ Jenny, I miss you all so much. I loved working with you and Dr. Soucie near the end of my time there. You are the best and are goinng to do great in the RN program.
@ Trish I love staying home with the kids and enjoying it. I am working on getting my license in NE but that will take time. After I get it I will probably work 2-4 day a month and stay home with the kids the rest of the time.
