Catching up

This past month has been something of a marathon. It was about a month ago that we started getting Jhonny ready for his new classroom. He's doing very well by the way and is realizing that there's a lot of work that goes into teaching. We're happy to see him home by 6 or 7pm. It's late, but it was much worse with Halliburton. Not quite the 4pm he was dreaming of, but he's enjoying it nonetheless.

I was starting a new job, then quitting a new job, interviewing for more jobs, and finally settling on substituting.

Meanwhile I had to juggle getting a babysitter so I can sub and then getting things rearranged for her to move in. School started, and I had to make sure I remembered to get pics of Jessica and Jhonny on their first day. Then I got called to work on the first day of school too. I got pics of Lily on her first and last day of Mother's Day Out - (I was still in transition of quitting). She was so excited that it broke my heart to quit and not let her go, but she said she was okay with just doing school at home for now. Too bad 3 is too early for Pre-K. She could have gone for free in Jhonny's district if she were 4.

The next week, Jess and Lily started dance lessons. They both love it. Gavin is walking everywhere and getting into everything. He can now climb up the ladder to Jessica's bunkbed, get on top of tables, etc. He loves to pull out all the CD/DVD's that are supposed to be "hidden." Yesterday he was babbling at me and I said, "Is that so?" He nodded his head and turned away. So cute! He is perhaps the most happy to have "Nana" here and is sad when she goes home on the weekends to be with her family until they move to Washington. She has been an answer to prayers and has fit right in with the family. It's obvious Gavin loves her and I don't have to worry about him crying for me when I'm gone.

This weekend we finally had nothing planned. So we had our Family Friday movie, pizza, and rootbeer float night. This morning we had pancakes and everyone is chilling and hanging out.

It's been a good weekend. Somtimes you just gotta chill out.
