Back-to-Normal!

{sigh}  For as much as I claim to love the chaos of summer, it sure is nice to be back in a routine!  :)  Noah has had a great first week of 3rd grade and Josiah and I are finding a nice routine for our quiet days.  At some point, I'll start volunteering at school again and Josiah starts Tiny Tot Gym in a couple weeks, but those things will just help make our week interesting.  ;)  Michael, of course, is busy as usual.  We're always happy to see Dad walking across the backyard, coming home from work!

Most mornings, Josiah sleeps through Noah leaving for school, so he wakes up asking for "Woah?" and looking through the house for him.  On the 2 mornings that he watched Noah get on the bus, he didn't ask about him once.  If I didn't love my sleep so much, I might consider waking Josiah up to see Noah get on the bus.  Instead, I'll deal with answering the same question 37 times throughout the day.  "Woah??"  

"Noah is at school." 

However, Josiah is SO happy to see Noah's bus driving down the street after school!  He's even more excited to see his big brother and give him big hugs.
