...And We're Off!

No matter how much you'd like to protest, summer is over. The routine of fall and winter has begun.

Eric had the last week off of work and we had such a good time. We worked on our house and it is so satisfying! Every room is DONE. We threw out tons of stuff and everything has been deep-cleaned. I think this is the most organized our house has ever been. It's a beautiful way to start fall.

Yesterday Eric took Sam to meet his teacher at Aldrich. I stayed home with Matilda. Sam reported to me that he had a great time, that he saw Brooklyn and Laura, that Braden is in his class, that there is another boy named Sam and that Mrs. Plute loves to read books. Tomorrow is his first full day and he can't wait. He says he is really excited about snack (sigh) and that he's going to tell Mrs. Plute that he has a lot of cars in his room.

Eric is back at work, Sam is in school, I am working almost every weekend, and there is never an end to my responsibilities for the Board. And tonight is the beginning of 19-0!

I LOVE this time of year!
