The Glorious Reappearing
Last week we had a tragic loss.
Bun-Buns was lost, and despite our best efforts, he was nowhere to be found.
Charlotte was devastated. Drama ensued.
But, her Daddy, her Knight-In-Shining-Armor, despite it being a discontinued item, and braving a price that can only be described as extortion, found an exact match on Ebay.
Aren’t reunions (kind of) beautiful?
Yes, Charlotte began sucking her tongue immediately, and hopefully she’ll (we’ll) all sleep well tonight!
Hurray!
At Home
Life at home has gotten pretty good, pretty quick.
I feel like I’ve got my house under control (relatively speaking, of course–I am still me) and the kids are used to having a one-woman-audience and only one room of toys.
I am looking forward to all of the “Ups” that come along with being at home with kids and I feel prepared for all of the “Downs”.
The days are long, but the years are short!
I’m grateful for this opportunity.
Thanks for working so hard for us, Josh!
7:03 a.m.
2:26 p.m.
Today was better.
She has friend on her bus and she got to learn the Electric Slide in P.T. (a.k.a. P.E.).
So far, so good.
Here We Go!
Olivia is officially a Kindergartener!
It was a great morning. No tears, not even mine.
It’s gonna be fun!
A New Phase
There have been a lot of changes aound the Peters’ house this past month.
While July 30 was Creighton’s first birthday, it was also my last day at work. So while we were celebrating and watching him do this:
We were also wondering what life would look like when we got home.
And for the most part, last week, life looked like this:
All my little duckies in a row (well at least for that millisecond in time) We had a pretty good week and we’re going to get even better because I bought this:
So far, it’s not working, but I bet I have to read it for that to happen.
On top of that, I did this:
My first 5K, and to my knowledge, no one needs iceskates in “you-know-where.”
And then, the biggest “and then”, is that Olivia starts Kindergarten in the morning. We met her teacher on Friday. I love her already, she’s all cuddles and sweetness.
Life looks different, that is for sure, but it’s going to be great.
But first, I think we’re going to have to get this other darn tooth out.
It’s about to get interesting, folks.
And now, I might just have time to update this old blog.
What I came home to…
Olivia: Dad I lost my tooth today.
Me: Really.. that’s great. How did it happen.
Olivia: I pulled it out.
Me: Really??
Olivia: Yeah…Mom, tried to tie a string around it and pull it but it didn’t work. So, I just twisted it around, wiggled it, then twisted it, then wiggled it, the twisted it and it came out.
Me: eeehhh. Did that hurt.
Olivia: No.
…and only 4 days to Kindergarten.
