The past few weeks have felt like they've gone by at warp speed! I can't believe we are halfway through September already, seriously what happened!

It feels like we have been super busy lately which must be true because every night I am exhausted when my heads my wonderful, wonderful pillow! It's been a busy time but for the most part a good time. All but one of the kids fall programs are up and running and because of that so are we. Skating started this week for Vaughn. He was hilarious, he was so nervous on the way there. He just sat in the car and wouldn't talk and stared straight ahead. I felt so bad for him! Once we got there and he saw all the other kids he did great! Hopefully by the end of the 15 weeks he'll have learned how to get from fallen down to standing up all on his own! Daddy went with us this week to video the event so here's hoping I know how to get the skates on right this week and that Greta doesn't managed to find her way onto the ice while I'm getting Vaughn ready. I'm only half kidding about that, she would try to conquer the world if I let her :)

Kindermusik started this week for both my kiddo's. Can I just take a minute to say that we love Mrs. Wiebe! She is so great with the kids and does such a terrific job that it is a highlight of the week for Vaughn and Greta. In the car on Monday I was telling Greta that she got to go to her very first Kindermusik class the next day, Vaughn then leaned over to her and said "Greta, we like Kindermusik." It was so cute and so very matter of fact. We'll see how it goes this week when I have to take Vaughn with me to Greta's class. I loved that this week I was able to do the class with just Greta and I. It often feels like I don't get enough Greta and Mommy time throughout the day. I know that is the plight of all mothers but I cherished the time the 2 of us had! Vaughn graduated into an older class and does the first 30 minutes of his class without Mommy. He was a little nervous when I explained that Mommy wasn't staying, when we got there he wanted to make sure I was coming up. And of course he went in without a hesitation, he gets nervous but always does fine. Heather says he was good and I'll have to take her word for it because the last 15 minutes I was there he was all over the map and very distracted!

This week we start a 'regular' routine. Lori will be watching the kids from around 8:30 - 4:30 on Monday's so I can work at the church. I didn't have to do a full day at the church but I thought it would be best to have a day to get as much done as I can. Hopefully this will mean fewer nights of me working so that I can tuck my little guys into bed. I know that they are going to do great but I am going to miss them. They are only this age for such a small window I hate missing even a minute of them. I am pretty lucky to have great friends that are willing to watch my kids just because they love us and a job that is flexible enough to work around my schedule with the kids. The Lord sees and takes care of us in so many little ways like making sure I'm home with my kids as much as possible.

Next week Time for Ladies starts up again and then our fall schedule will be in full swing. So many great things for the kids and for me too. I really am blessed!

Now hopefully I'll be writing next week to tell you the house sold!

Happy September Everyone!
