Miranda,
Those trees are big! Words just can't do justice in describing them. There's nothing I like better than a quiet walk in the trees. We moved here with the idea our kids would enjoy vacationing here. It's working pretty well so far.
My daughter is living in Virgina right now. Her husband is in the army. She is also a SAHM and has 3 boys. The oldest is 8 and the youngest just turned 1. She has her hands full.
Thanks for the kind words about first grade teachers. I had the best job possible, I think. Enjoy those little ones because they grow up way too fast. By the end of first grade they are becoming very independent!
TTFN,
Yvonne
