A New Routine

I'm not sure where the blog posts have been this week.  When I don't have pictures to tell the story, I forget I can still blog.

This past week we've been getting into a new routine.  Zoe started preschool and LOVES! it.  She's still tight-lipped about what they do during the day.  If there weren't two Graces in her class, I don't think I'd know there was even a first one.  They do color because I got one assignment sent home and she had marker on her hand on Monday.  She won't really tell me anything more than "yep" or "no" answers.  It's so frustrating.  I thought this was supposed to start when they were teenagers.  I get more out of D and E about school and they're tweens.

We also started dance classes one day a week.  Fortunately they have a two-way window so I can watch her.  If not I don't think I'd get any information out of her there either.

Tonight we start AWANA at our church.  D and E also get to come.  It'll be like a family date night in the middle of the week!  Zoe will LOVE seeing her sisters.  She tells them all about school and dancing.  I guess I could get the information second hand from them.

This has been a week of firsts and a new routine.  Tomorrow N comes home from his summer internship for good.  He'll be home for 9 months and be at home in the evenings.  In Zoe's entire life, he's not been home during the week.  I'm excited to have a glimpse of what our future holds with him being home in the evenings and I'm ecstatic that he'll get to do things with all the girls during the week. 

In some really great news, he passed all his testing this summer and was officially invited back once he graduates in the spring.  That means he'll be guaranteed a job.  It's an answer to prayer.  That also means I can continue to make dam jokes.  Which is one of the highlights of this week considering that's really all I've got since my three year old is like Fort Knox.
