Hudson




We went biking down the Hudson River on Saturday along the west side of Manhattan. It was SO cool. Perfect day - 75 degrees, sunny and breezy. It's so neat down there - lots of piers to sit and relax on, basketball and tennis courts under the freeway that you would never know existed otherwise, old men laying out in speedos, trapeeze schools just set up along the side of the road, ping pong tables, batting cages, and a hoe-down/ square dance waiting for us at the end when we reached Battery Park. It was very eye-opening to see how Manhattanites recreate - under freeways, along the side of the road - but great to see that they take a lot of effort in making it available in the middle of such a busy place. Ryan and I just bought tickets to Utah for Christmas. We'll be there from the 17th to the 31st. So if anyone wants their hair done - let me know! Ryan also has decided our bed isn't good enough for him and he's getting a bad back from all his studying, so I catch him sleeping in his little cocoon on our living room floor when I wake up in the morning! By the way - all the wedding photos and pictures of Katie's school were great!!! It was so fun to see them!

On the job with Miss Eggertsen, who's students love her!
The walls are colorful! One student said she likes Miss Eggertsen's art projects, because she (the student) likes art, too.
We snapped a picture before they lined up for an assembly about reading.
Miss Eggertsen in the classroom. When I asked what the students liked about Miss Eggertsen, they said she is the best and the nicest teacher they have ever had.

Hunsaker Happening (& water fun!)

School Days.

How quickly a year passes. Seems like just last year I was writing on the blog for the first time with our exciting news of Dawson going to Kindergarten! Well now he has begun first grade! He is in a 1st and 2nd grade split. He seems to enjoy it. Carter will start preschool in 2 days. He is so excited! We went to an orientation a few weeks ago and he was so disappointed that it was only 1/2 hour long! His only comment was, "That was short!" So I think he will do just fine with school!

We are getting used to the new fall schedule with school and soccer wil begin this next week. Dawson is still taking gymnastics once a week. Enjoy the pictures. Hopefully I did them right! My first time!
