TGIF

If we make it through today, we will be good! This has been a great week in many ways and a horrible week in others. Glad it is almost over.

Jake has had a great first week of school. He loves it. He loves his teachers, he enjoys his classmates and he seems to thrive with the structure. He is going to bed better and getting up better...so far!! His overall mood has been, for the most part, delightful.

And, doesn't he look so cute in his uniform??


I am thankful that this transition to all day school has been a good way! Praying it continues and that he grows a lot this year.

One day this week while Jake was gone, Abby snuck into his bedroom and gathered up his transformer collection. I knew when I saw it that this was a very bad thing! Jake has them all lined up on a shelf and one time someone came through our house for a showing and their child touched a couple. They were barely moved, but he knew and was not happy. Perhaps a bit OCD when it comes to the transformers.


She helped him locate all the missing pieces and eventually worked up a quick "I'm sorry" although I really don't think she was. But, like I told Jake...she's two. You need to lock your door when you leave.

As far as the bad, Jeremy has had to deal with some difficult things at the office this week which called for some super late nights. One of those nights he took Cara with him. She was so happy for this big privilege of getting to go to work with Daddy! She apparently enjoyed candy bars and pop while there and playing games on the computer. She is definitely a "Daddy's Girl" and after running out to the car in pj's bawling her eyes out he couldn't not take her with him!! Jake said, "Mom, I know why Cara wants to go with Daddy so bad." "She likes him better than you." He went on to say, "But don't worry...I like you!" HA! It's all good. I loved my Daddy too so I get her :).

Cara is sick. I think she has croup. Her BFF, Ellie has a birthday party on Sunday so I hope she is better. She will be so disappointed to miss it. We also have a showing tonight. Going to be a busy day!

It sounds like it has been a great week. Glad to hear Jake is enjoying school so much. I feel sad for Jeremy though having to work so much. Also for Cara being sick. I think Elli had croupe on vacation. No fun.
