I miss the lazy days of summer.

The school year has started and we are very busy. I miss the lazy days of summer when we could lounge in our pajamas until at least 9:30. I wake Jenelle up every morning at 7am. She always asks why I'm getting her up so early. School! School! School! I manage to feed her a decent breakfast and get her hair semi-brushed and then we are out the door.

Jenelle is enjoying school. I picked her up from school one day and she was all excited. "Mom I got to be the wake up person and the line leader!", she said. She is making lots of new friends. She is bringing home lots of papers. Jenelle's school requires 60 hours of participation from the parents. I'm going to work in the coffee shop and I plan on volunteering in Jenelle's class a lot.

Awana has also started. Jenelle is a Spark this year. I'm also a Spark leader, just not Jenelle's Spark leader. That is on Tuesday nights.

Jenelle is in swim lessons, too. I can't wait for those to be over. In fact we are skipping lessons today. We need a break! Jenelle is becoming quite the swimmer. She is putting her face in the water without goggles even. She is well on her way. She won't need the arm floaties much longer.
