I'm FINALLY Here!

Okay Megan, here is my update!! 


Wow, where to begin. So I left Texas Sunday morning and arrived at JFK around 3. Michelle (the mom) and Luc (the youngest and only boy) met me at the airport and drove me home-I got my first taste of New York traffic..not so wonderful. But everything was covered in snow  and soo beautiful! They live in this adorable, small town. Life here is so different, I can't get over it. They have one grocery store and a ton of little specialty shops, which is where everyone shops. All of the homes are different. No cookie cutter neighborhoods. The kids are great! Rennie (the oldest) is definitely hitting her teenage years so she is a bit rebellious but really fun! Lia (the second oldest) is sooo energetic and talkative. She is always talking about something and whatever it is that she's talking about she could go on for hours! She's also a bit bossy which most of the time is pretty funny. Naomi (the third child) is super, super quiet and very shy. She took the most time to open up but she is soo cute. And she's the "good one". The one you never have to ask to do her homework, or pick up after herself. And then there's Luc. He was shy at first too, but by dinner the first night he was great! He is so much fun! He is super smart and imaginative. The job itself is just as easy as I thought it would be. Getting up, fixing Naomi and Luc breakfast. Getting Naomi out the door by 720 to get on her bus. Taking Luc and Baby (the dog) to school. Yes, the dog goes to daycare, too!  And then having the middle of the day off. In the afternoon it's just picking up Luc and Baby and taking the kids to various activities and then I'm done around 645. 


I know it's not much for now, but I promise once I've been here a bit longer I will tell you more!! Plus it will be more fun to show you pics of the city! :)
