Meg's first day of Kindergarten!

Our little girl started kindergarten! We can't believe it! We moved to Ohio, bought a house in Upper Arlington and started Kindergarten, all in about a two week period. Some serious changes, but we are adjusting. One of my favorite things about where we live is that we can walk to school. Meg's school is about a half a mile down the street. It's called Greensview Elementary School and her teacher is Mrs. Radu. We love it. Meg goes to morning kindergarten which starts at 8:15am and goes until 11:05am. Her first day she wanted to ride her bike...it sounded like a good idea at first, until I realized that I would then be carrying it home while pushing the boys in the double stroller. That didn't go as well as planned! I'm laughing at the picture of the four of us. We look pretty exhausted! Not much sleep happening then. Charlie was having a hard time adjusting, and kept coming in our room at night, and Henry is still struggling with wakeful nights, teething. And I had been spending every waking moment scrubbing the house trying to rid it of the yucky dog smell! I have cleaned dog hair out of every imaginable place in the house, even the refrigerator! I think it is finally gone though. Or, I'm used to it, I hope not! We recarpeted the entire house, except for the finished basement, because the previous owners had just finished it and the carpet was new down there. But, that is the most pungent place because of that. We now are focused on painting and the bathrooms. But, we love it and it is a great home for our family. Our yard is Tom's favorite part. We have a huge backyard with a million trees! It is very shaded and feels great sitting outside watching the kids play. It will require some serious hours of racking this fall, but it will be worth it.
