It seems like it has been so long since my parents were here, but it has only been a week. Our house seems a little quieter and our dinners have not been near as good since they boarded their plane, but we did survive the week(only the occasional tears, OK a lot)!
And a busy week we have had...
The boys have started back to school this week, and are very excited about starting rugby! They went to their first practice yesterday, and loved everything about it-being on a team, toughness, roughness, running, catching, getting dirty, and just playing the sport! Although I am a little leery of the dangers that come with rugby, at this age I think we are fine and how can you deny a boy a game with a ball.
Claire also started back to school, at least on a consistent schedule, as these past few weeks we were never on a schedule. She starts ballet on Wednesday, I think I am a little more excited than her! Oh yeah, she is sporting a new do! While Mom was here, she talked me into cutting her thin hair, and what a difference it has made. It actually looks a little bit thicker and when fixed it is precious! Way to go Mom!
I also kept busy, after having a great birthday I did some me stuff this week! I got my hair done, my toes done, and my nails done(thanks to a really sweet friend). I also went to my book club, and caught up with some friends that I had not seen in awhile, I really have enjoyed meeting all kinds of new people. Then one of my South African friends had a birthday, and I was invited to a brunch in honor of her! Now this friend, Gherda, has been a God send-she has included me in so many things and has introduced me to so many new people. A big shout out to all of my new buddies, they have made my new life a little easier and kept my mind off how hard this week has been without my parents! We finished up the week visiting with friends and doing what we do best, eating!
