We are missing Aldersgate

One of the biggest transitions of our move has been the kids not being able to attend their daycare, Aldersgate, everyday. They loved going there to see their friends and fabulous teachers! So the summer for Hayden has been all about the camps. Unfortunately Emerson is too little to go to camp...so she spends her day swimming with daddy at the rec centers or playing at the various parks around town.

This first camp at Sunflower Farm was so cute! Our friend Carrie was in town with her two kids so Hayden attended camp with them along with their cousin that lives in Boulder. The farm was so much fun - they fed animals, did crafts, water play, etc.
**Emerson had no idea that she couldn't attend on the first day we did drop off, needless to say the exit after drop-off was pretty traumatic.

She attended a few more camps ~ "My First Camp" through the City of Boulder, "Trash to Treasure" art camp at a local private school and her final camp was a "Backyard" camp where they just did about everything for a week -- crafts, water play, games, etc.

Hayden starts Kindergarten in less than two weeks!  She is SO excited to be around kids all day, everyday.  As we get closer to August 16th we have a Kindergarten picnic and open house to attend.  We're looking forward to her meeting some friends, we're looking forward to meeting people in general :-)

We found an amazing daycare for Emerson.  She has to be 2/12 and potty trained to start so she'll be able to attend starting at the end of September.  We are just crossing our fingers the teachers are as great as her Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Veronica, super high bar to reach there.  

Settling In

I can't believe it's been almost a month since our last post. The weeks seem to be zooming by at warp speed. We are settling in, finding lots of things to keep us busy! We just love the nature that is here. We are surrounded by it ~
