I'm Back

Let's see what has happened since I last posted . . .

Summer has finished up and 4 of the kids are happily in school. We are all happy that things are a bit more normal. Jed loves kindergarten.

I began working at Hallmark a few nights a week and a few saturdays a month. I enjoy the time doing other things, but I do miss out on some things at home.

Will is playing tackle football. He enjoys it and is learning that sometimes getting hit is not very fun. He loves school and thinks he is so cool being in middle school.

Annmarie has taken to this new school so well. She already has friends and is making great choices. We are thrilled with her teacher (so far). She misses Henry while at school but is happy to be working hard again.

Jeffrey is adjusting and doing not to bad. He is our child who takes the longest to adjust. We are trying to work on making things a bit more structured at home for him. He started playing soccer last week and is enjoying that.

Jed loves school and is wondering why he had to wait so long to go. My favorite thing to do is scare him when he gets home. He says he wants me to stop, but he looks for me every day.

Henry thinks he has died and gone to heaven. He loves being home with me. He loves going to the YMCA, and he loves Super Why, My little pony and Barbie. He also likes to escape and go where he wants.

Chris is still enjoying his job. He likes the people he works with and likes what he does. What a win win.

We are doing well and hope to get back into the swing of things with the blog now that we have a routine in place.

We love our parks here

living in a small town is great, but it often means driving a bit more than normal. We see this lots now. 

I ran Ragnar Great River again. So glad I did it with Michelle. I love running with her.
