Big Day - Monday, August 4th

We got back from Idaho on August 3rd and Monday, August 4th proved to be a very big day for us. Lincoln started the second grade and Logan started his last year of pre-school.  After dropping the boys at school and experiencing the excitement and nerves of that we went and bought a new house!  It was something we were planning for a while but couldn't do much about it while we were out of town. We first went and picked out our lot and then since it's a new build, we spent the entire day in the sales office going through the details of it.  It's still contingent upon the sale of our current home so it's been hard with the uncertainty of not knowing if/when this place will sell but we're keeping our fingers crossed and moving forward as if it's going to happen. 

After we did all the paperwork, Ricky picked up the boys from school and brought them to the sales office while we finalized everything. Lincoln got to put the sold sticker on the lot display and Logan reinforced it with his strength. Then we took the boys out to the lot for pictures and to let them play in the dirt.  It all goes according to plan, we will be in a new house in January 2015!

That night we went out to dinner to celebrate the days accomplishments.  The boys both had a very positive first day of school and are really liking their classes and teachers. Lincoln told me at dinner that night that he "loves second grade!"  Not a bad way to start the school year. 

 When Logan grows up, he wants to be a train conductor. 

 When Lincoln grows up, he wants to be a photographer.

 Logan immediately went to find the train car Legos when he got into his classroom.
