Like a breath of fresh air, cool fall air swept through the desert this week. I love fall (really I like all the seasons) because it means football, soccer, hot air balloons, and specific to this fall...my parents are coming to spend a month out here! I can't wait! They are going to be here at such a fun time and will get to experience so much while they are here. It will be such a treat to get to spend a whole month with them! They are staying in a furnished apartment that is only about 1 mile away and is easily walkable. I can't think of a better set up! :)
School is moving along just swimmingly. A few years ago I had my doubts as to whether putting my kids in an early child development school was a good thing when I went to work part time rather than just hiring a nanny. Now I know for sure that it WAS! My son was extremely well prepared for kindergarten and navigated a new school, new kids, and a new routine easily. Likewise, my daughter adjusted wonderfully to her new class - she takes a little while to warm up, but I've learned not to interfere in or stress about that process and she settles in nicely in a few weeks.
As for the other 3/5 of our family, we're all doing well. I am already thinking ahead to the holidays and looking at photographers for our annual family Christmas picture, juggling the kids' schedules and activities, and enjoying running on my pain-free hip. :) My kindergartener is in a running program at school where he earns beads or every mile he runs so often I get in my usual workout in the morning and then end up running an extra mile in the evening. My husband is enjoying work - he is out right now at a happy hour with some of his fellow managers while the kids and I enjoy an evening at home.
My 2-yr old is a little sponge soaking up his world. His speech become more complex and clearer by the day and he is starting to ask lots of questions. He has known his colors for a few months and is starting to learn his numbers and letters. Happy Fall everyone! Enjoy!
