This Week

This week starts many new things.

First, we are starting home school tomorrow. This will be a new adventure for all of us. Jameson is starting Preschool, so it is his first time having a somewhat strict school schedule. This will also be my first experience with trying to teach. Pray for us. I am a little nervous. I am told that I shouldn't worry, cuz it's not important to follow the curriculum entirely. I am one for following the instructions to the T. I am going to try to adjust things to fit our family and Jameson. Both Jameson and Teagen are excited to start school. I still don't know what I will do with Teagen. He doesn't like to be left out, so I think he will be doing a lot of coloring.

Second, we are starting our new chore schedule. The boys are old enough to start learning how to do certain things around the house. I now have a schedule set up for all of us. We are actually going to have things written down that need to get done daily. Yes, I have resorted to lists. I never thought I would be the type of person to make lists. I never used to be very organized, but things are going to change.

Third, Gavin is turning 5 months old on Thursday. He is growing up so fast. He is almost sitting up on his own, and he is scooting around on the floor a lot. With how often he attempts to speak, I wouldn't be surprised if he spoke his first words this week. I know, it's probably still a little too soon. Oh well, I still have some great conversations with him.

Fourth, this week starts a new year in my life. That's right, my birthday. There are some people that don't look forward to their birthdays after a certain age. I don't think that day will ever come for me. I love my birthday. I am exactly as old as I feel. The number doesn't matter. I'll be 31 on Saturday if you were wondering. After still being able to play on a playground with my kids, I don't feel like 31. Though, I may be sore tomorrow.
