And on top of all this, Brianna started Kindergarten and my sister started High School!! I did really good as I took them both to school on their first day...I saved all of my tears until I got home! Brianna is LOVING school. I was a little nervous about how she would do because she is in an all day program (8:20am-2:10pm). It never fails that she falls asleep on our way home, but bedtime has become less of a fight and normally she is out before we finish a book! TJ on the other hand is still a little confused as to why sister is gone all day. He really does miss he and loves to go and pick he up when her day is done. Yesterday he grabbed his little backpack and said the I needed to take him to his school...I guess it won't hurt if I look into preschool a couple of days a week for him! :) My sister, Genna is digging HS!! I am super excited about this because we had huge issues at her last school with mean girls and bullying! Instead of putting her in at either of the high school's here in town we transferred her to a somewhat smaller school near Brianna's school. I think I was more nervous about her first day than she was! She went into this school not knowing anyone and as a shy kid...she comes home everyday so excited and has already made some really good "new" friends. And in fact, on our way to school today she asks me, "Um, Sis, how do I tell a boy I am only interested in him as a friend, without hurting his feelings?" She tells me that a boy let her know that he "liked her and she looked cute yesterday." I can not believe this...she is like my own child and I am not ready for the whole "boys" stuff yet! But really, this makes me so happy. She is coming out of her shell, letting that wall slowly crumble and growing up!!
OK, I think I can stop rambling for now and share some pictures...Enjoy!

Oh, before I forget...I started a new job yesterday!! I am now no longer commuting!! I am working at a great little preschool here in town. I have the perfect schedule...I am only working from 2-6pm. this gives me some alone time with TJ and gives me the opportunity to help out in Brianna's classroom as well! i am really excited for this new "adventure!"
