Making pizza in our kitchen...love Trader Joe's pizza dough!
Before school on a rain day
Cheering for the Razorbacks! Anna has grown so much that her cheerleader outfit didn't fit anymore! :) She settled on this...
Durham Bulls game!
Here is a quick update...pics to come soon! Anna and Henry are loving our neighborhood with all of the nature trails, parks and bike trails. I feel so lucky that we have made some friends right off the bat! We even had our neighbors over to watch the RAZORBACK game on Saturday night!
Anna has already had lots of playdates with some super sweet girls and boys. She seems to be adjusting so well to her new school, friends, etc. She loves school and we have received great reports from her teachers (who we love). She has started ballet again, and one of her sweet little friends from her class is in the same class. We are actually carpooling, and it is so nice! Some of her favorite parts of the school day are centers, learning sign language in PE, going to the school garden, library, watching the frog news on the smart board in her room, recess, singing songs, etc. My favorite is that they walk through the halls "hip and lip": one hand on their hip and one on their lip to stay quiet and not touch anything...who wouldn't want to see a line of adorable kindergartners walking that way. I am hoping to sneak a picture someday! :)
Henry loves Chapel Hill as well. He really loves his school, and he is dissappointed if it isn't a school or church day. He already talks about a new "buddy" he made. I need to try to arrange a playdate for him. He loves the parks and bike trail...just being outside makes him so happy. We go on multiple daily walks or trike rides with Mocha! I am so thankful that he is speaking so well and so much! We are constantly having real conversations now...what a difference a year makes! :)
Chad is really enjoying his new job, and he is very busy! It is exciting work and we are thrilled for him. I have been so lucky to have friends of friends here that we have gotten together with a few times. We have met some great people in our neighborhood, and the kinder moms even walked up to a restaurant after the curriculum night for a glass of wine! I joined a year long bible study that has some great women in it! I look forward to getting to know them better throughout the year. I am also volunteering at both Anna and Henry's schools. At Anna's school this week I even used a bit of my Japanese! All in all, we miss our family and friends in Little Rock, but if we had to move anywhere...I am thankful that we moved here! Chapel Hill seems to have so much to offer and we are really enjoying it!
