new days ahead

Tomorrow is the first day back to work for me. It is also the first day Mae and Lu will be going to Dawn's. (Chris is going to work too, but he hasn't had much of a break from his work like I have...so nothing new for him!) We are all anxious about our new weekly schedule, and it's funny how I can already feel the structure re-settling around our house. I'm sure it's very similar in everyone's homes right now - the day after Labor day means back to reality...

Chris and I had a great time at our Dave show at the Gorge - went too fast, but had a nice break to ourselves. :) We also attended little Mikey Sorenson's 1st bday party in Prineville yesterday, which was a lot of fun for our whole family. Jon's wife, Mai, is SOOOOO nice, as is the rest of her family - and very Asian... (okay, I know that sounded a little strange, but you just have to know me and the amusement Chris and I both felt at watching our daughter play with so many kids that sort of looked like her - something I NEVER did as a child growing up in Prineville.)

Anyway, another boring post. We did get a "Bumbo" seat for Little Lu so she can learn to sit up, and mostly so she can add yet another new item to the "baby" things she can do/play. Mae got a cute little guitar, just her size, from Gramma and Papa - she's looooves it!

We love our girls so much - they are so fun to watch, teach and spend endless hours with. I say this now when they're both in bed and I'm going to start leaving them four mornings a week - I will miss them, but know that they are also on to new things themselves.

We are unbelievably thankful for the blessings we all share together on this earth.

Loves!
