This was a short but stressful week for Jake. He had a trip coming up on Thursday and he hadn’t been able to get a lot of work done the week before since he was home with me so he worked hard and tried to make sure all the little loose ends were tied up, clients were taken care of, etc., etc. But I think overall it was a good week for him and now he’s in Vermont with some wonderful childhood friends at a wedding. He also got to see his brother and a good friend in Boston so the week is ending well for him and hopefully he will be home safe and sound tomorrow because we all miss him a lot already.

Another long week for me. Just working very hard and getting up really early to exercise and start my day before the kids wake up and the morning rush sets in. I feel like I almost got our new routine down. With Jake out of town towards the end of the week it was a little more stressful than usual but I managed to get it all done and still do my work and everything else. As I expected, we’re getting into the groove of the new routines and I expect by the end of September things will be considerably better. Or so I hope.

David is still enjoying school a lot. He loves the library and science and math. He does seem to have a few friends so far but no super-close friends. The good news is that he comes home happy every day and none of the deep sadness from last year is there just yet. I am hoping it stays this way and that he makes a few good friends and enjoys his new school thoroughly.

Nathaniel is loving school, too. He doesn’t even say goodbye when I drop him off and is very sad when he sees me come to pick him up. He’s become considerably more demanding but also super-cute so we all try to put up with him as much as we can because we all love him so very much.
