The First Week

The first week of school went pretty well.  Reid and Zach seem to be adjusting to their new schools and routines.  They are both playing football.  Zach has made some friends at school who live near us and he's gone out to hang out with them a few times.  One of them happens to be the boy who used to live in our house.  Kind of funny that they are now friends.  He told Zach that he was sorry for the black marks on the wall in his room.  :)

Our daily routine is about to change, though, because Reid starts seminary this week.  He will need to be at the church at 7am each morning for the 50 minute class.  Fortunately, that coincides with Zach's 6:45 bus pick up.  So we'll get up at 6, Zach will get on the bus at 6:45, I'll drive Reid to church.  I may hang out at the church during his class, or I may come back home, or go to the grocery store.  Hopefully I'll get that routine figured out.  But, Reid will be home by around 8 and he gets on the bus at 8:30.  Whew.

The afternoon works out alright because Zach needs to be picked up at 5pm and Reid gets picked up at 5:15.  Game days will be a little tricky, but we'll get that worked out when the time comes.

Jacob and Cole are staying home this year.  The first week went well.  We'll be working the kinks out of that routine for a while.

And Kira wasn't so sure about the changes going on in the house.  She's been sleeping pretty poorly the past several nights.  Which hasn't made things terribly easy on me.

But overall I think things are going well.  The first few weeks are always the hardest.
