Getting Settled In and A Lot of New Everything.....

After getting all of our stuff into our rental house, we got Addison registered for Kindergarten here in South Carolina.  Unfortunately, she hasnt had the smoothest transition between schools... first of all, here in South Carolina they are FULL day kindergarten--which I love by the way, but still it was an adjustment for her coming from a 1/2 day program, but she did like the part that she got to eat lunch at school and go outside for recess.  Second of all, South Carolina is WAY ahead in their kindergarten curriculum than they were in New York.  She came into this school and all the kids in her class are reading and writing, unfortunately for Addison, in New York with it being only 1/2 day Kindergarten, they were just required to learn their letters and count to 100 since time was against them.  Needless to say, we have had a rough time with the transition and trying to catch up to where she needs to be.  But I have much faith that she will catch up, she has already come such a long way in the past 3 months with her reading and writing.  I have no doubt that starting a fresh new school year with a new teacher (we werent too impressed with her last one), and a new start that she will do just fine in 1st grade.

Not only starting a new school, but we have been exploring everything Greenville has to offer and we LOVE it.  We have fallen in love with downtown Greenville.  It is a beautiful city with much to do and wonderful places to eat.

We have loved living here in Greenville so far.  We are renting for now trying to get to know the area and then hopefully in a year or two we will be ready to buy a new house.  It feels good to be back home in South Carolina and as of right now, the plan is to stay for GOOD!!!  Now come visit us, yall!!! We have a guest room!!  We know you will love it just as much as we do!
