First Day of First

We had our first semi normal week here in Utah. Our house is mostly unpacked except for our room, you have to jump over boxes to get to the bed but we are getting there. Chloe is finally adjusting to living in a new place. She is a Texan, lived there since she was two months old and she struggled with the move. The first week she would be up all night crying saying she wanted to go home. She once asked me if our house was gone and I said no that we moved and this was our new house and she got all upset and said "No it's not!" So I made their room a priority to get put together hoping it would help Chloe feel more at home. She is starting to do better, but the other day she asked me, "Mom I want to go back to Texas, how about you?"

She is still adjusting to change of weather from Texas, she still puts on a coat and scarf and carries around her gloves, anywhere feels colder then Texas, lol. One morning we went outside and Emma said, "Mom is it winter!?!" It's 90 degrees people! I think it feels fantastic! It was really funny, one day I was standing outside the school next to some other moms waiting for our kids to get out and they were talking about the weather and one mom said, "The news said it's suppose to get up to 90 this week, oh my gosh!!" "I know that's so hot!!" Come on people are you serious?!? I wanted to chime in and be like excuse me I just came from 105 plus humidity this is heaven, instead I just smiled to myself.

Emma started first grade this last week at the same Elementary school I went to. The school is right down the road, it's so nice being able to walk her to school everyday. I teared up on my first day walking her to school I was overwhelmed with fun school day memories with all my friends, it doesn't seem that long ago, ya know? It's so weird! Emma was a little nervous on her first day, her tummy was upset so I couldn't get her to eat very much breakfast. It's a new school and a new teacher, but her teacher is really nice and she is enjoying it now. I can't believe she is in first grade already. I didn't think I would get emotional this time, that you only cried when they started Kindergarten, but no it doesn't get any easier. After dropping her off and watching her walk into the school without me I went home and cried to Aaron. Chloe and I miss having her around all day. When I pick her up I can't help smothering her with kisses and hugs.

She is growing up too fast!
