-Summer is over and the kids are back in school. They had a great first day and seem to really like their classes. It's very quiet in the house with all 3 in school all day. But it has been nice to have one-on-one time with Nat.
- Nathaniel said 'dada' for the first time yesterday! It was so cute! He was looking at Jarod and started saying it. Now he says it all the time. I love that he is starting to say things. I can't wait to hear all the things he has to say!
- Last week we went on the staff retreat to Grand Lake. It was so much fun! I absolutely love the staff and spouses, and it was great to get away and relax. Jarod and I got to go out on the seadoo together and also on the tube. I've never done either one of those, and it was hilarious! We took Nat with us for the weekend, and he even went on his first boat ride! He just leaned against Jarod and was so peaceful. I think between the wind, the motion of the boat, and the sound of the water he couldn't help but just relax. I'm already looking forward to the retreat next year!
- I've been having the kids do chores once a week. They have their normal chores such as feeding the cats, putting away laundry, and picking up their rooms. Once a week we deep clean the house, and they get to help out. It's amazing how much gets done when we all work on it together! Why didn't I do this years ago? :-)
- I have been blessed with a great friend here in Broken Arrow. She and her husband just moved here this summer, and I am so thankful! We have a lot in common, and the more time we spend together, the more I see God's hand in this friendship. I can't explain it, but I am so thankful to have her and here family here!
- I am ready to start preschool again. We've all been working on our rooms and getting them ready for next week. We have open house Monday night and our first day on Thursday. I am ready to love on some babies!
Here's to a better year
