Looking Forward

We've finished up two weeks of school. Its been a little easier getting back into the routine this year. I'd like to thank Big P for that. She decided late last school year to take a break from dance this year so she could focus on sports. Little P wanted to add music lessons into her mix of activities, so dance was not an option there either. And what a relief, for now. Both are on competitive softball teams. Yes, I know COMPETITIVE at age 7 & 8, but it is what it is. As long as they enjoy these activities, we will continue them. Did I mention they are playing soccer this fall as well? First game was today, and boy the much needed rain made it a fun morning. The P's and I spend a lot of time with my mom, we always have. But there have been some changes in her this past year or so. While there are things beyond her control, she is embracing the opportunity to enjoy life, try new things and put a lot of time and energy into her only grandchildren. I am very gratef

And we're off!

Kris' back to school countdown has ended. Tomorrow is our first official day of school, though I've been back since Monday. I can't believe we have a third and second grader. Little P pointed out the older they get, the closer they get to my room. I am in no hurry to speed that up at all! Tonight was sneak peak at school, where they got to see their classrooms and drop off their school supplies. I'm excited to see how the school year goes. A little sad to not see some of my familiar school faces this year, but I'm grateful for the ones I get to continue to see! Here is to a great school year! On a side note: my hubby went on a little gifting spree for me today. He surprised me (with the girls of course) with new bedding, and a fancy one cup coffee maker! Love that man!
