Happy New Year!

Did I skip blogging in the whole month of August?

I don't need to ask how that happened.  As I mentioned in my last post, I found myself a little part-time job in a children's clothing store at the mall.  August is prime time for back to school shopping so I was working lots of extra hours.  Re-entering the workforce after a few years off on top of changing careers entirely has taken some adjusting from everyone in the family.

Once I get the hang of the retail world, there will be stories.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime, this happened:

Now you are six.

This also happened:

I now have a fifth, third and first grader in my house.  This may be the last year Emmett has a helper with him at school, and this causes me worry, but I am hoping we can help him through the transition and that he has grown enough that he can learn to cope better on his own.  Another worry is how Matthew is going to handle full days of school given how he didn't enjoy half days very much at all.

Stay tuned.
