Kickin It At The Koszarek's: September 2011

Our New Family Member

On Saturday we adopted a fine pooch from the SPCA here in Norfolk. Her name is Lily Buxter (Connor picked that out!), she's about 7 years old, and a perfect fit for the family. She and Rocco became fast buds and the naps together have been great:o) We are working on getting her to know her name, to come when called, and teach her our yard - especially since we don't have a fence! And I have to say she is doing great! So far, so good!

Extracurricular Activities...

Connor is back at the Y here doing swim lessons. He loves the water. The Y Has an awesome outdoor pool and slides that he got to enjoy during the summer. Now that it is closed, swim lessons resume indoors:o)

We asked Connor if he wanted to sign up for soccer or tball with his buddy Ross and he told us 'no'. He wanted to play football. Lucky for us the Y just started a flag football league for boys ages 6 to 9. Connor finally has an excuse to dive on the ground and get dirty. Yay!

Ready for 1st Grade!

Boy, I don't know where the time has gone, let alone the summer. It's been a crazy one packing up to leave Hawaii, buy a house in VA, and get all of us here. We tried to jam in some fun, right before school started, and I think we did a good job. We also had some friends and family visit in our new place so that was very cool. Connor was a little apprehensive about starting 1st grade, but he has some new friends and everyone was at the bus stop together, which helped a lot. His teacher, Ms. Mangum, seems like a doll and is great with the kids. Thank the Lord! We also have Connor enrolled in after school care too - hoping that I can find a job quickly! Needless to say, there's been a lot going on and a lot of changes in a short period. Connor is adjusting well and taking it all in stride. Makes it easy for me. What a great dude!
