Katie's "2nd" First Day of Kindergarten

This is turning out to be a time of transition for us, the most recent development being our move back to Seattle from Portland. Regina got laid off from her job that had required her to relocate to Portland. Our housing there was a rental and our house here in Seattle didn't sell, so we are now back in our home in the Seattle area! She'll look for employment here so we don't have to worry about selling the house and moving.

Fortunately, we were able to get Katie admitted into Chestnut Hill Academy in Bellevue. Last winter, we had applied there (as well as to Catlin Gable in Portland) just in case we ended up back here. And here we are! Katie's first day was Monday, October 5. She missed about a month of classes here, but it shouldn't be a problem. Although we LOVED Catlin Gable and will miss being part of their community, we are very pleased with our choice of school here. We had toured it last year during an open house and discovered it is an amazing school.
