Wyoming Ohio

I am now living in Wyoming Ohio, who would have ever guessed I would be here?? It is a charming little suburb of Cincinnati. It has a Mayberry feel in some ways. People have been so very warm and friendly.
The schools are great! Elm Elementary is where the girls are attending and it is a charming tiny school. Two classes per grade K-4.
Addison has the biggest class in the school with 25 students. She has a "Cooler than cool" male teacher, Mr. Hayden who rides a Harley and plays guitar! I guess to a 4th grade girl, that is pretty neat! Campbell has a nice teacher named Ms. Alt. She said "Ms. Alt is Fun like Mrs. Ginther, Sweet like Mrs. Rouse and Teaches and Reads like Mrs. Weatherston" She has all her bases covered there! I am thankful they are so happy.
The community has so many things to offer. We joined a group called the Wyoming Newcomers Group. They have monthly activity groups for both of us together and separate as well as family events. Kipper and I attended the first party August 22nd and had a lot of fun. We met a neighbor from a block away, in the "other red house" and another cute couple that moved here in December. She (Kim) brought us an apple pie the day we moved in......see it is Mayberry!!
Other news that is great in our lives is that we have found a church! God is good and fast!!! We have been attending Presbyterian Church of Wyoming. Get this, it is exactly 6 houses away from ours around the corner. Yes, that is a God thing for sure. They are in the process of calling a head of staff but have a great Associate Pastor who we are really enjoying. They kids have great activities to participate in and Sunday school will begin this weekend so we can all check that out. We even met some great friends already through the church, the Walton Family. Not John Boy or Sue Ellen! The Walton's have daughters, Lucy & Sophie who are in our girls classes at Elm, can you even believe that one! It is so great!
So, we are settling into a routine. Girls walked to school from home this morning for the first official time! I walked to pick them up at 3:00! Everyone walks because you have to pay for the bus!!! Crazy huh? It is 1/2 mile each way so it is perfect. Now in the snow, we will see!!! I am going to look into a bible study and have signed up to volunteer for a few very small one day things at the school, not homeroom mom or troop leader again, YET!!
Girls are 2-0 for soccer...Go Pink Panthers! Otherwise, they will begin church choir next week on Wednesday and Addison will be a Junior Girl Scout again, still looking for a troop for Campbell.
So life in Mayberry, oops Wyoming, is "so far so good". Our Great American Adventure continues!
