Weekly update

Well, we all survived the first week of school!! Steven was away on business, so it was just me and the girls for the first part of the week. Aeris walked into her new classroom with ease, which she didn't do in her last class. We had to put her back in pull-ups until she gets a little more settled in her surroundings, but she is using the potty so no complaints there. Katie is liking her new teacher and class. She's been really excited because this year I have decided to let her wak home with a friend and her older brother. She also thinks she's HOT stuff because we bought her a little phone for walking home with. I guess it's silly in ways for a 7 1/2 year old to have a phone, but she's learning a little lesson in responsibility. She has to call home before they leave the school and shortly thereafter, I meet her at her friends house ( who just so happens to live in the subdivision across from our apartments). So, its been fun for her and nice for me, too, not to have to sit in the long line of traffic everyday. I milled around for the first part of the week, enjoying the random silence in the house, then started to prepare myself for classes that started last Thursday (although I didn't physically go to campus until Friday). I'm taking 3 classes online and 3 on campus that are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I like not having to drive everyday, although on Fridays it's a trip for one class...but it's not bad...and I get to eat lunch with Steven after class! And...thanks to Katie's dad (David), we are going to enroll Katie in after school Gymnastics!! She's excited about that...and the fact that she gets to wear a leotard that is "sparkly"!! Right up her ally!! I hope that she will like it and does well. We did ballet a few years back through day school and she loved it, but now she's more active and likes to flip and spin all over the house...so I figured why not, right? So, I guess that's all the excitement around our house for now, but I'm sure there is more to come!! Never a dull moment here!!
