1st Grade---Here we come!

Abbie started school on Wednesday!!! She is officially in 1st grade! How did this happen? Where have the last 6 years gone? Last we checked, we were bringing her home from the hospital in a heavy spring rainstorm in her car seat! We just stared at her...not knowing what to do next. Gosh, I can't believe how big she is!

She didn't have much to report...She gets along well with everyone and makes friends pretty easily, so I just have to assume that we'll only hear about school if its bad!

We started carpooling with our neighbors this year, and Abbie seems much more excited about riding with Anthony and Marie to school each day, then actually GOING to school! Ahh to be a kid again!

Lauren complained all day that Abbie wasn't home and asked constantly if it was time to pick her up yet. But, after Abbie came home Lauren just started jumping on her and even kicked her in the shoulder--don't know what that was all about! As you can probably tell, Lauren is my "spirited" child :) We just can't wait until pre-school starts for Lauren...T minus 12 days and counting....

So all seems well here. We are hoping for a quiet weekend and maybe 0ne last trip to the pool before it closes for the year. The girls will be devastated.

We finally did it!

We finally did it! After months and months of talking about it--we finally have a blog! The Kluiter's have finally joined the techies!

I struggled with doing a blog at all--our lives just aren't that exciting on a day to day basis. But, since most of our families live far away, we thought this would be a great way to keep in touch and post pictures of the girls.

I can guarantee I wont be blogging everyday, but I will try to keep it up to date with our "happenings". Someone reminded me that family and friends out of town are interested in hearing from us and seeing pictures, even if it doesn't seem exciting to us!

The summer is coming to a close very quickly. Abbie had her 1 hour orientation/meet the teacher this morning. She has a great teacher--Mrs. Magsamen. She's excited and has a lot of great kids in her class this year.
