It was an easy transition back into school this year because there were no big changes and both kids already knew some of their teachers. We were impressed to see that the new elementary library was finished before school started and Alex was loving the new reading nooks.
The fish pond reopened as well now that the construction is done and Alex can't wait to walk this way every day.
Alex was super excited to get Mr. Murnane for grade 5 because he was one of the baseball coaches last year and he's going to be awesome. It was nice to catch up at meet the teacher day before classes started. The middle school doesn't have a meet the teacher but Ben's social studies teacher from grade 6 moved up to 7 and Ben was excited to have Mr. Allberry for homeroom and English this year.
Our bird Buddy proved to be a little (or a lot) louder than this house can handle, so we went back to his breeder and we spend some time looking for a new feathered friend on Saturday before school started.
Jalan Barito is lined with little pet stalls and I think it's fun just wandering around and gawking at all the animals.
We agreed the bird should be smaller, quieter, interactive, and had to eat seed. Turns out two cute cockatiels checked all our boxes, so we brought home Joey and Nick.
Nick is not the most social guy, but he can sing some pretty songs when he's in the mood. Joey has been handled since birth and will call to us to come out of the cage and hang out. She especially loves keyboards.
Our new friends is a real sweetheart!
The boys loved on their new friends Sunday and then had to get up bright and early Monday to kick off a new year. Buses come at 7am and they love to get outside a little early to play with Kitty. The first day went off without a hitch and the kids were happy to reconnect to the friends they'd missed over the summer. Here's to a great year!
While the kids were gone, Kitty took it upon himself to keep an eye on things out front. He's such a cool guy.
