Katie started kindergarten today......

...so I walked her down to the bus stop....

I figured there would be other kids at the bus stop for her to sit, talk, play, etc....nope....where is everybody??? I'm confused....lots of little kids in my neighborhood where did they all go???

Last year she went to Private pre-school...this year she's going to public because of the new IB programs....hope I made the right choice......I'm sure I did but I've got a few doubts.....must be that new Kindergarten parent thing of me being nervous.

That's a hard one Kitch. Seeing them go to Kindergarten for the fist time is tough. I'm sure you made a fine choice.

I actually felt sorry for a kid riding past me on his bike after the bus left. I asked why he didn't get on the bus and he said that he goes to Apple Valley and doesn't start until next week. He was bummed because he was all ready wearing his backpack and waiting for his ride because he thought he started today with the IGH kids.

He was waiting for his ride not a bus. He usually waits with the neighborhood kids tho.

I just got this from Dawg

My good friend Shelley, who's son is just a couple months older than Isabella just called me with this urgent prayer request.



Shelley - please pray for my 14 month old son Christopher. He had urinary tract infection, but upon further investigation this morning under ultrasound an abnormal growth was discovered up around the top of his kidney area. We are on our way to Children's Hospital right now to meet with an oncologist and to have a CT scan done this afternoon.

Praying for Christopher!!!

Speaking of prayers... my Dad had a stroke on his way to work at the state fair on Monday. He has been through dozens of tests and it looks like they are very optimistic about a full recovery. Ironically he has the same anomaly in his heart that Don Shelby had. Luckily it looks like his is rather small and at this point they are choosing to watch it rather than do open heart surgery. It has been a scary week... just waiting for all those tests and understanding that 10% of stroke victims have another stroke within 72 hours.

Scary stuff TC. I hope he's OK. Maybe he can blab with Don about it on air. Give it that State Fair spin.

It should be fun. It gives you something to watch when the updates fly by at the bottom of the screen during the games. I can't wait to watch my first game on my new 61" TV. I'm stoked as they say

So who knows how you can link to here from outside for someone who hasn't been here before? I want my bro to see the Discin' thread but he says it says No Access.

Anyone?

I think I got it. I changed the guest users preference. That should work now. I didn't think he had access to the whole site, not just the one thread.
