Chocolate milk

This morning was a little crazy with me being overtired from work last night. Why is it that I can come home in the summer and go straight to bed but once school starts and that 6AM wake up looms in the much-too-near future, I am up past 1AM after working? Anyway, Jack and Grace were the only ones awake this morning. They really worked together to feed and water the animals. It was so sweet to see them helping each other. They put their lunches into their lunch bags and Grace promptly spilled her milk. Jack moved so fast! He was up and getting paper towel, wet and dry, before I could react. It is times like these that help me realize even more so how truly blessed we are!
It is as if they know (and they didn't know how late I was awake at that time). Katie just told me Mary fell asleep, so I should exercise and she'll clean the family room! How wonderful is that!! I love our children so much!!! Suddenly, it doesn't matter how tired I am or how much there is to do...

The Family

Getting Started

Ok, I'm going to try my hand at "blogging." So welcome to our family. This has been a big week for us. Grace started all-day kindergarten. Jack is now in 2nd grade - a sacrament year! Katie started nursery school. I have two afternoons a week with only Mary home!! Time is going by way too quickly...
