Well with three schools and three different start times, things were a little crazy the first few weeks. Thanks to the bus, a car pool and Marks help, we are settling in to a new but good routine. The first few days after we leave Grandmas Paul is always teary with questions of why we live so far a way from all of the extended family. He however declared yesterday, "I don't miss grandma anymore. I love school." Claire is doing great. She loves being back of the thick of things with her friends.  Holly has had a rocky start to this year. I told Mark I am not use to worrying about her. She has always been doing great. Schedule changes, friends, A hour, 10th Grade is a hard time to change schools. Sophie and I are loving our days together. We have a strict curriculum of games,stories, art and more stories.  I have been doing some sewing and quiting with my extra time. Sophie loves playing where I am working.  My kids are a joy in my life!
