We interrupt this....

We interrupt the Nauvoo posts to bring you a very important announcement....The kids are back in school! I thought I didn't want them to go, summer was too short, and I loved every minute of it. But today was wonderful. Kaylee started preschool three days a week and Ryan started school yesterday. When he got home he said it was Awesome! I was so glad to hear it. Today his friend Ty met him at the door to ride bikes to school. He was really excited. He loves to ride his bike more than anything.Ryan starting 2nd grade. Mrs. Reed is his teacher.

Ryan & Ty Leavitt


Ryan heading out on his bike







Kaylee starting pre-K. She goes to playhouse preschool and Lynn Desfosses is her teacher. She goes 3 days a week.


We are so excited that Kaylee's hair is growing out. Finally!



This is Taylor being sad that Kaylee is leaving. Well actually Jeff just took her toothbrush away and said it was time to leave so she was upset.




I just couldn't stop taking pictures of her little fit. Oh the drama.







Another important update for us is that Jeff had his surgery on his bulged disc yesterday. It was outpatient surgery and so far he is recovering nicely. He has been up and walking yesterday and today. He is just very tired and sore. Good thing for drugs eh? He is on some pretty big restrictions for the next 6 weeks. He is hoping to return to work full time in 2 weeks. We are just waiting to see how his body heals. The doctor is pretty sure that there will be future surgeries since his disc was in pretty bad shape. We appreciate everyone that has sent us well wishes and offered to help. It is times like these when we realize how many wonderful friends and family that we have. Thanks also to Grandma & Grandpa for keeping the kids and getting Ryan off for his first day of school.
