School Year 2008-2009

It is the start of a brand new year at a brand new school. Adam and Clarissa both seem to really enjoy Bridge Creek Elementary, home of the Cougars. Adam is now in the third grade and Clarissa began Kindergarten. As we left for open house Clarissa did inform me, "If the teacher is ugly I am so not going!" Lucky for us, she is a beautiful young woman with a lot of positive energy. Adam has good things to say about his teacher as well. Although she has been teaching for over twenty years, it is her first time teaching the third grade. She is looking for good examples to help her along. And Adam is someone who definitely likes to take charge of a room. Molly has been a bit confused during the day though. About ten times each day I heard "Where's Rissa?" She even walked through the house trying to find her. We are having a lot of fun doing things, just the two us, but are very happy to see them when they come home.

Goodness Alive! Clarissa Turns Five!

It is so hard to believe that Clarissa is five years old already. It makes me so sad. She had a very simple and sweet princess party. Her friends Isabelle and Sloane came over. There was dressing up, opening gifts, and of course the very best part of all...eating the cake! She knew it was her special day and she really had a lot of fun.
