We have a Preschoolian

Kennedy started school last Friday, and she loves it. The base offers a MWF program that lasts from 8:30 to 11:30, so its a great opportunity for her to socialize with other children.  Last Friday was a little hard for me.  I had a ton of mixed emotions, but I put my smiley face on and left Ms. Kennedy.  I left her for 3 hours!!!!!   I'm pretty sure I've never left her with anyone that wasn't family for 3 hours before.  I know I'm over protective and all those other crazy things, but she is My Girl!  Really, the only thing that matters is that Kennedy had a wonderful time at school, and Ms. Jan, her teacher, said she did excellent.  Tomorrow is day 2 of school; we'll see how she does then. 

Kennedy definitely has a full schedule this fall.  Monday and Wednesday, school & dance.  Tuesday's she has gymnastics...she is overjoyed to do cartwheels and handstands!  Thursdays are our free day, and Friday is just school.  I honestly don't know how moms of multiple children do it.  I remember my mom saying she felt like a taxi cab; I see how having 3 girls could make you feel that way.  

I will keep everyone informed on our family happenings.  Be in prayer for our transition as Brian prepares for another "vacation" in a few weeks.

Camping-Bled Slovenia

The most important thing about this trip is that we had a GREAT time as a family and with friends!  On Labor day weekend, we headed out early on Saturday morning to get a camping spot big enough to hold 7, yes 7, tents!  There are a few things about European camping that are way different: no open fires, see our make-shift smores pit below, and the bathrooms/showers are immaculate.  There was maid service that cleaned the bathrooms every 2 hours.  It was a little cooler than anticipated, so I lived in my little hoodie for the whole weekend.  Brian said I practically smothered him the second night we were there; I was just trying to stay warm. Kennedy loved putting up the tent, riding her bike, and hanging out with all the grown ups.  She had all the women playing animals with her. 

On Sunday, a few people went whitewater rafting, but most of us went exploring on our own. Brian, Kennedy, and I headed out to Vintgar Gorge.  This is one of the places I researched before heading to Bled, and I knew it'd be beautiful.  Beautiful and amazing it was!  We walked for about 3 miles on little ledges and bridges over rushing water.  At some areas we couldn't even stand up straight.  Kennedy was a trooper and walked pretty much the whole way.  We wanted to explore some other areas around Bled, but Kennedy was exhausted.  When we got back to camp we just hung out and walked around.  It was really great getting to spend time with the other families.  We are hoping to go back one more time before Brian leaves.
