First day of school!

Today we started school. As most of you know I'll be homeschooling my 9 year old sister this year and we're both excited about it (I think mom's excited too, for a little break after doing it for 20 years). Mostly it was just getting adjusted, organizing things, and getting "into the groove". 

Also baby brother is showing DEFINITE signs of potty training at 18 months all on his own! So he and I are working on that. I'm feeling very grateful for all this busy work. 

Today at the library baby brother was playing with some other kiddos his age and all the moms/grandmas were talking about what ages what kid started doing what and I started tearing up knowing I'll never be able to talk about my baby and her accomplishments. But I am thankful for baby brother and how much fun it is too watch him learn new things EVERYDAY. He's amazing, and I don't think I'm just being biased... Well maybe a little. 

Side note:

I'm getting sick of painting. I hope to knock most of it out tomorrow. Tuesday is husbands new Saturday so we'll get a lot done tomorrow if all goes as I plan in my head, which rarely do things go as I plan but we'll see.
