Kindergarten!!! Hooray!!!

Bentley started kindergarten on August 31st.  I've been waiting for this day for a long time, finally Bentley will be with me every day.  The excitement of kindergarten was quickly diminished due to Bentley getting SICK the first day of school!! Really?! He's so excited and I'm so excited and now he may possibly miss the first day of school. When Bentley woke up he wasn't feeling well, but he didn't have a fever or anything, he just said his stomach hurt.  I ran him to Grandma Vicki's and told her to bring him to school if she thought he was ok. She brought him over so he did it make to the first day of school. YAY!  Right after school I took him to his babysitters and he threw up as soon as we got there.  So the first week of school we missed a day.  Other than that, school has been great!! Bentley loves his teacher and his friends.  He loves learning.  It's so fun to hear him use the Spanish words he's learned.  It's so great to finally have Bentley at the school. 

Our Lives in a Nutshell

Wow!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone since school started.  Bentley started dual immersion kindergarten where he learns in both Spanish and English.  He absolutely LOVES it!! I have pictures of his first day, but of course they're still on my camera which is in my desk drawer at the school...sign...oh well, I'll post them sooner or later.  Bentley also just started guitar lessons.  He loves the band Van Halen and knows all about them and sings their songs.  The other day in school the teacher gave all of the kids a white board and told them they could doodle on it.  One kid raised his hand and asked if he could write mom on his since he knew how to spell it.  Bentley the raised his hand and asked if he could write Van Halen on his because he knew how to spell it.  I love having Bentley at my school so I can see his teacher everyday and hear stories and check up on him daily.
Brian has been crazy busy shadowing a DO and filling out his application for med school.  It's crazy how big of project it is.  He's also just finishing up his degree in Biology.  He would be done this December but one of the classes didn't fit into his schedule for this semester, so he'll be done this April. 
I have, of course, been teaching which seems to take up a ton of time especially during the first of the year.  I am totally enjoying the fall weather.  This is my favorite time of year!! It's this time of year that the med school in Maine sounds very appealing, a New England fall, who wouldn't want to live there?
That's our lives at the moment in a nutshell. Hopefully I will post pictures soon, if I can remember my camera from my desk drawer.
