And so Routine it is.....

Real life has started....freedom of summer is gone for sure. The first week of school still seemed exciting and new. Now we are into everything full swing. Monday night ball hockey for Hud, Tuesday afternoon ballet for Claire, evening meetings for Hud, Wednesday night small group, Thursday night guitar for Daniel, piano for Claire maybe Daniel, Friday night youth group for Hud. Add in orthodontist appointments, play dates, all my stuff and of course homework, there is no need to worry about what to do in our "free" time! Swimming lessons need to get squeezed in as well. Never mind the stuff that needs to happen around here.

We have a serious leak somewhere on the west side of the house, not quite sure of the location, just hoping the kitchen floor doesn't need to come up. Water running down electrical wires in the basement through the kitchen floor above is never good.

Claire has settled in well at school and is happy to go each day now. She has come up with a funny quirk though. Before school she could print her name properly. Now that she is in school, she prints it in perfect mirror image. Everytime!

Sam is missing the big kids but is enjoying the boy next door and is often over at the neighbors for the better part of the morning.

Life is busy but we all know what's coming and somehow it seems to make life run more smoothly. Ask me in a month how we are doing and I may have changed my mind. Hope you are all enjoying what fall has brought you.......

Beautiful new layout!!!! Love it! Glad to hear things are going well with Claire. You are a busy lady! Sorry to hear about your leak. I will have to come over and take a boo some evening soon.

Well, your clan is busy and on schedule.
Clair's new way of writing her name will be corrected soon enough. Be sure and save a few examples to show her later in life. Teens love to see things they wrote or drew when they were little.
Hope the leak is fixed without too much trouble.
