The BUSY Small Family

The past few weeks have been very busy for the Smalls.  We started back to small group with our church at the beginning of the month.  We love our small group so much and are so happy that we decided to join.  WE have made a great group of life-long friends and so have our little ones.

We also took a small weekend getaway to Atlantic beach with the kids.  This is the first trip Don and I went on by ourselves with the 3 kids.  We always go with family or friends but this time we decided to brave taking 3 kids 5 and under on vacation.  IT WENT WONDERFULLY!!!  The kids had a blast on the beach playing in the sand, swimming in the pool, and going to the aquarium was the highlight of the vacation.

Then the biggest part of our month has been preparing our little Ashlynn for KINDERGARTEN.  We were not sure until recently what we were going to do about school.  My plan was to homeschool Ashlynn but she really wanted to go to big girl school.  Don and I have said for the past year we would homeschool unless she asked to try out school.  She begged to go so we gave in and decided to give it a try.  Not to say I won't revisit the homeschool option again but for now we are going to give public school a whirl.  Ashlynn's 1st day of school was today and she loved it.  I have been a mess for weeks because I wasn't ready for my baby girl to be 5 or to go to kindergarten.  However, she is so happy with her decision.  She loved today and went on and on about how much fun it was and how much she liked her teacher and how she cannot wait to go back.  So for now we shall see how big girl school goes...
