STAY TUNED!!!!!

Ok, so I know that I have not posted about the first day of school yet and I promise that I am going to do so. I am going to try and do it later today, but I have to find the card to my camera first. Stay tuned for the exciting description later today :)

Starting School

Yesterday, we were able to meet Bradyn's teacher Mrs. Staten. It was very nice to see the school and Bradyn's classroom. He was able to sit at his table and meet the little girl who is going to be sitting next to him. As the first time mother of a Kindergartener I am VERY nervous about this. I worry about him being there ALL day. Luckily he is very excited and I am sure that he will do great. I will try to be very good about posting regularily about his school experiences.

Life in Texas

So, tonight I saw my first Tumbleweed while living here in Texas. Well, actually I only saw it out of the corner of my eye. But I still think that it is hilarious. You know, it just really makes me feel like I am truely not in Michigan anymore. I was just telling Les today that when you look around it doesn't feel like we are in another state. And then here came THE TUMBLEWEED :)

My Two Graduates!!

Not only did Bradyn graduate from preschool, but Les also graduated from Eastern Michigan University with his teaching degree in Secondary Education. We are so proud of all the hard work he did to finish is degree.

Bradyn's Preschool Graduation

I know that this is something that happened a few months ago, but I didn't have a blog then so I will post it now. Back in May Bradyn graduated from preschool. He went to Churchill High Schools preschool for two years. Though I wasn't happy with a few things about it, he truely loved it. He was always so excited to go to school and always had a great time. He was lucky to be able to go with his cousin Jackson and his very wonderful friends Nolan and Nathan. What a blessing it was for him to have this experience with people he cared so much about. Graduation was a great morning and it was enjoyed by all.

We are here!!!!

For those family and friends who may not know, us Hicks have taken our adventures to the great state of Texas. Have have left all of our wonderful family and great friends behind :( But we know that this was right for us right now. My parents, me and the boys all arrived on Sunday August 5th, while Les and his dad arrived the day before with our truck load of stuff. It was so nice to have everything unloaded before me and the boys arrived.

My dad stayed with us until Tuesday the 7th and then my mom was able to stay with us until Friday the 10th. What a blessing that was to have my parents with us to help us get settled and also for Les' dad to drive down with him the truck. We wouldn't have been able to do it without them. I am going to try to be very good about posting the different adventures we come across in our new home. This is the first time we will be so far from home, so I hope that this blog becomes very useful. Love ya all
