Greetings! The school year has started! After
a three month summer break it is time to get back to work. Abigail is really glad to be in first grade
and is enjoying her new class. The two
kindergarten classes last have been
mixed up for first grade so she is getting to know her new classmates better and
can play with her old friends at play time.

| Miriam, Matthew and Abigail |
Matthew is back at pre-school. There are only four children in his class
from last year and the rest of the children are all new. His best friend Miriam is now in kindergarten
so he is having to make new friends. He is really enjoying it and I haven’t had
any tears when it’s time to go. His new
pre-school bag has hand prints all over it, so he likes to call it his “hand-bag”. Thankfully a hand-bag is more commonly
referred to as a “purse” in America so it only makes Andy and I cringe! Lol!
Parent and toddlers started again last week
and it was great to catch up with the mum’s and grandma’s after three months. Yesterday we had a new mum with her five week
old boy and 2 year old girl. It’s is
always exciting each week to see who is going to walk through the door.

| Sam and Sommer with 20 month old Savannah |
We enjoyed our friends from Florida last
week for three days. Sam is a pilot so
he gets to fly for free. They flew to
Ohio last Tuesday and stayed till Friday.
I knew Sommer when she was just six years old when her family lived in
Dunoon. Her father was in the navy. We have kept in touch since and it was so
nice to see them and meet Savannah for the first time. Sam is Puerto Rican so we had three different
accents going on - fun!

| Eilidh 10 weeks old. |
Eilidh is growing fast and is starting to
giggle which has all of us laughing as we listen to her. She is in 3-6 month clothes a month early! I am just up once through the night usually
for an hour or so with her. It is still
like being pregnant in some ways with the disturbed sleep and trying to take naps
in the afternoon to make up it. It is
certainly a challenge getting three children out the door for 8.45am and
punctuality has gone from my vocabulary! House work is in the distance and
there is a bag of paperwork needing urgent attention. If I manage to get the washing done and the
meals and dishes done then it has been a very successful day.:0) I’m blogging
with one hand while putting Eilidh to sleep in the other arm – mum’s you will
understand completely!:0)
