Preschool and Sisterly Love

It was a busy August in our household. Lily started preschool which was a real adjustment for all of us. The kids are in two separate places during the day, which means two drop offs, two pick ups, different schedules, ugh! So Barclay is now doing the drop offs and I'm getting to work at 7:30 so I can pick them both up on time. It's working out well, but schedule changes like that are taxing in our house! Lily absolutely loves preschool. It's like the place was made just for her. She' s learning a lot, making new friends, singing new songs, and even has her first case of puppy love - Barclay and I are really unsure how to deal with that one. Addy is pleased as punch about being one of the big kids at day care now and she's done better without Lily than I thought she would. So all in all it's a good change. This picture of Lily's first day is not the most flattering of my beautiful girl, but she was really in no mood for pictures that morning ;) We've also continued settling into the new house. We keep seeming to find new jobs - we did get some living room furniture from friends of ours, so that room is no longer empty. We stripped dining room wallpaper (still have to pick out paint), replaced two toilets, and Barclay did something with the AC. Can't wait until we're all settled - though I do understand by now that home ownership means never ending repairs, etc. In a couple of weeks both Sunday school and dance start up to add to our business....so we have big plans to stay close to home and relax this weekend. The weather is supposed to be awesome so we'll likely hit Conner Prairie (or at least the apple store) and the pool.
