 Guess who started school?!  I had to fill our tons of paperwork- which I went in and did on Tuesday.  They have a 24 hour wait period before the kids can go to school, so they didn't start till Thursday.  Which was fine with me, but the kids were lobbying for one more day at home.  Since school started last week, I didn't want them to miss more than necessary.  This year Marian is in 6th grade, Callie is in 4th, Delaney is in 2nd, and Joshua is in 8th.  There are only 2 schools here right now: Elementary is K-6 and the High School covers 7-12.  So Joshua is in High School now!

They were good sports.... except that kid on the right.  

Check out this nifty feature!  We have an awning that can be rolled out or  pulled in.  Awesome with the rain! You can also see our metal storage unit back there.

Look who is thrilled to be sprung from the kennel!  He still has 3 weeks left for his Quarantine, but that can be done here at the house.  He was SO happy to be back with us.  He seems pleased with his larger, luxuriously green yard.

Rylee came with Dan and I to the Friday class to get our driver's licenses.  Isn't she adorable?! 

She was also quite amazing. I gave her the kindle, with Minecraft to play, and there was nary a peep for the 2 hours it took to go over the material and take the test. 

Heh heh heh.  Dan is taking his test.  Good news, we both passed and as of 1600 Friday we are both licensed to drive in Japan!
