Finally

We're finally moved in (not settled yet) and have phone and internet. Of the 13 times we've moved in the 7 years we've been married, this has been my least favorite. It has been hard to leave the Eldred Unit and McGinley and start a new school for Kache (it hasn't been hard on him, but hard on me), but I guess we'll survive. Our original moving day turned out to be the first day of a 3-day snow storm, so we moved a day early in hopes of beating the storm. And we did - we didn't get snowed in until we made it up to the Star (the camp we live on now).

One last goodbye to the McGinley.


Kache's last day at Garden County Elementary. He hasn't been sad that he has had to switch schools. He talks about Mrs. Wendland and the kids at Garden County, but when I told him that his new school only had 3 girls in the kindergarten class, he said, "Oh, they need me because they need a boy." I'm glad he has a good attitude.


Now he goes to a one-room schoolhouse (not really, there are two rooms and a gym). It is Kindergarten through 8th grade, and currently there are 8 kids. There is one teacher and one aid. The kindergartners spend most of their day in a separate room from the other students. Kache is one of only three boys in the school, so the other boys are happy to have him. When we got to school his first day, all the of other kids were watching out the window for him to come.

Wow! I can't believe how small the school is. I didn't know such small schools still existed -- and I know by saying that I am proving what a citified person I am. I'm sorry the move wasn't the best, but I'm glad you beat the storm! Definitely send pictures when you get a bit more settled.
