Lucas will be 12 years old on Thursday! wow.
We had an early celebration tonight at a local Mexican restaurant... simply because a mariachi band was scheduled to play.
Lucas loves this particular restaurant... and we go ALL of the time. It was extra special tonight as we shared a meal with our family and Lucas was serenaded by the band.
Cake and ice cream followed at our house.
This should totally have been a Friday.
This week, after having several groups of people back in my house, I realize how much I enjoy having company. It often feels like I have a rotating door. And the 'extra' chairs that we bring up from the basement never seem to make it back downstairs. We go through spurts of time when those chairs are filled for several days. And then they linger in the kitchen until the next people arrive.
I think I took the summer off from hosting much... because the chairs were left in the basement for quite a while. But now they are back.
I am thrilled to be hosting our LifeGroup again this fall. And I hope that I can revive my Sunday night crew as well.
I look forward to getting my peeps together.
Even though I love my summer sleep schedule, the truth is that I thrive on routine. Our 'school' routine work for us. As well as the regular scheduled meetings, etc.
My preschool class is beyond amazing this year. I have enjoyed every minute.
Ask me about my job sometime :)
I'm looking forward to the arrival of fall. And pumpkins. And Halloween.

Wow. Where have we been?!
The boys just started their third week of school!

I went back to work last week, and my preschoolers came to their first day of Pre-K today. It looks like lady Elaine and I have an awesome class this year!
Rewind to Sunday August 17th.
I received a phone call from my Brother-in-law, Thad, to say that he was IN TOWN and wanted to surprise my boys. This was huge. He showed up at 6:30am on Monday morning and woke them up for their first day of school! A great surprise.

It turns out that Thad was in town for several days. It seemed like it would be a long visit.... but it was over way too quickly. The boys enjoyed some much needed time with their uncle.
On Wednesday Thad and I hiked back to the spot where we had scattered Thayer's ashes. Great day, beautiful mountains.
That week, we also went out to eat with my family for (what would have been) Thayer's 44th birthday. Not much pomp and circumstance this year.
At the end of the week we said our goodbyes to Thad and I delivered my kids to Comfort Zone Camp.
Daniel wasn't too keen on attending this year.... but by the time I picked them up on Sunday, both boys were ready to get signed up for next year's camp! I am so thankful for CZC and the safe environment that they provide for kids like mine!!
While the boys were at camp, I enjoyed a great weekend catching up with my friends in Richmond.
Then.... it was back to reality for all three of us as we started back to school and work on the following Monday.
We are getting back into the routine of things. And would you believe that my boys put themselves to bed by 9pm each night?! And I'm not usually far behind.
I've had some sweet dreams the last few weeks.
