As you may have guessed, we've gotten a little busy around here. Last week, the girls had their first full week of school (well, it was supposed to be their first full week), and Graham and I had orientation week with sessions for new graduate students. Just to make things interesting, Graham accepted a consulting gig with the ACT company (yes, the testing company), so he was out of town from Sunday afternoon til Wednesday. Thankfully, we had our CC in town just like always for orientation week and this year Nona came at the end of the week as well. We are so lucky to have them "close."
On Monday, Lydia had her first day of school in the 2's class at PDO!
She was so proud of herself and of her owl backpack.
Unfortunately, Miss EB started running a fever on Monday night, after just one full day in Kindergarten with everyone attending. We were so lucky CC was here as EB had to stay home on Tuesday, my full day running sessions on campus. By Wednesday, EB was feeling better but couldn't return to school, so we went back-to-school shopping for me with CC ...
Here's my photo text I sent to my sis making sure this dress (that I bought for $20!) wasn't too young or too short for me now that I'm 35 ...
On Wednesday afternoon, we had the changing of the guard ...
Wouldn't you know that on Thursday, EB just didn't feel up to heading to school. So she stayed home with her Nona and sister all day. She actually did start a runny nose that day and has had it since, poor girl.
We had to have a distraction when Nona left on Friday, so L and I headed to the library where she read me some books. Really, she did. It was super cute.
Now, we're back to 40+ hour work weeks and school. The blog posting may suffer a bit, but we're starting to get into our new routine ... complete with colds, carpool, late-night working, and 2-year-old meltdowns at drop-off. Thank goodness for incredibly cute 2-year-olds that like to run through the house again and again for no reason and and volunteering in EB's classroom. I keep reminding myself, it's really good, just different than what we're used to.
