This will be my first blog and I'm just sorta trying this out.

We recently moved to the Northern Virginia area and still learning our way around. I'm really beginning to love it here. I like the variety of shopping and can't wait to go shopping for furniture. You see, we sold a lot of our common area (non-bedroom) furniture to make it easier to move. We liked our bedroom furniture too much!

So, we went and enrolled our son in school on the first day (day after Labor Day). That went fairly smoothly. Next, we went looking for a pre-school for our daughter. We went to the area Christian pre-school/school/daycare to check them out. We liked it and they asked her some questions. They kind of hinted that instead of PK4, they would be putting her in Kindergarten. So then she preceded to count to 100. That kind of sealed it. Now, as an Elementary School teacher, I wasn't so sure about pushing this little girl into school, so they told me she could try it for a day. We came back the next day for her to try it. She liked it and did better than some of the others. So she stayed. Basically it means that although our children are almost 3 years apart in age, they will only be 2 years apart in grades. This will probably be more confusing later. Now, it doesn't seem to matter.
