Hard to believe...

that today is the first day of school for lots and lots of kids not only here in NC but all across the country. Yet for my kids we are starting week 6 of the first 9 weeks of school! We got interim reports this weekend and I am pleased to say the kids are doing WONDERFUL!! in their new school. Just 3 weeks until we track out and that means just 4 weeks until baby Addy arrives (hopefully).

It is hard to believe that a year ago during track out we were in Fl and enjoying Disney and visiting family. This year there will be no Fl because there is so much other stuff going on. Hopefully we will get back down there very soon, that is one of the joys of year round school, vacation comes every nine weeks:)

Fall baseball is in full swing now too. Camden has moved up to the minors and he got to pick the name of his team. He decided on the Durham Bulls:) They will practice 3 times a week (that is the most any of his teams have ever practiced) until games start in about 2-3 weeks. Chris has been to the first 2 practices and says that the team looks really good this season.

Grace starts back to dance next week after Labor Day. We are doing 3 classes again...tap, ballet and hip hop. Not only that but we are trying out on Sept 6th for the Carolina Ballets "The Nutcracker" again. Last year she did very good in her tryouts but was too short. Hopefully this year will go just as well and she will make it as a mouse for this year's production.

We are almost done with the painting that we started several weeks ago. All we have left is another coat or 2 of the red on the accent wall and the kitchen. I really want to do a backsplash of some kind in the kitchen but so far I have not found anything I like. Keep your fingers crossed we get the kitchen done this week.

Well, tomorrow is big day here at the Partin house but you will have to wait until then to hear all about it. I am sure it will involve cupcakes and dinner out:)
