Change

I feel like a lot has gone on this week.  Baby Girl is now a rolling machine!  On Sunday she was almost doing it and by Monday morning she was doing it like she'd been her entire life.  She's so quick and smart.... it's almost scary.  One wouldn't think that a 4 month old could seem like anything but cute, but she definitely seems like there is something going on upstairs.  I also think that she is most definitely right handed.  The jurys still out on Bugga, but she most definitely does everything with her right hand.

We also found a townhouse that we might move into at the end of the semester.  We're going to see how this semester goes with commuting but I worry about the drive in the winter.  The place we found is pretty close to campus... its not real huge or anything but definitely enough space for our family.  The area seems nice and I think that it would be good to have our own space.  I like that we are saving a ton of money by staying at my parents, but I think that its starting to wear on everybody.  We just seem to be getting in each other's way, and I don't want our relationship to be hurt.  So I'm getting pretty jazzed with the idea that we could have our own place again.  We are praying about it, crunching some numbers and seeing what opens up.  Will keep you updated :)

I am excited to have a schedule again.  It was getting pretty difficult for me not knowing what Gaetan's schedule was... routine wise with the kids.  We have found some great things for them to do I think.  For instance, on Wednesday afternoon they do a toddler reading time at the library... which he LOVES going too.  I think that this will be great for him to learn to sit for a little while and get a chance to interact with other kids. Plus, who doesn't love reading books!  If Gaetan's Tuesdays are going to be his long days we'll probably hit up the children's museum.  I just wanna be able to get him back into a routine because I think he does better with it.  :)  I know I do.

Another fun thing that Gaetan is starting is he's a volunteer at our church's preschool aged kids.  Tristan really does thrive being around other kids so we thought it might be time for him to start Sunday school.  Of course this Momma isn't ready to let him go all by himself so Gaetan volunteered to be in there with him :)  We are excited to see what Mars Hill Kids is like!

And lastly with everything starting up, the symphonette is starting again!  I'm excited for sure.  Mr. D gave me a solo to practice already too.... which is pretty challenging really.  I'm not nearly as good as I used to be so hopefully I can do it!  :)  It's a nice easy going thing to do while still utilizing a skill.  Plus I get to see Holly and Mr. D.

Life is going to be crazy busy, but bring it on!  I'm excited to see what's in store.
