Summer has been busy. We were busy having fun and busy being lazy. Forgive me for never making any jokes. Or even offering a boring update.

This was our first week of school and it was one big ball of stress. Grace has been fine but Lillie has not. For the first time in a while, I've actually had stuff I'd like to write about, but I have just barely had the time to get any work done, much less blahg. Lillie decided to go to school this year. On paper it seemed fun, but she has been pretty miserable with the reality. Each day has gotten better. I' ve come into class quite a bit and today is her first full day without me. I know that she is okay, but it's still hard. Not as hard as the other days, but hard.

We found out that there is an option to go half-days (and homeschool the other half) and at first we were thinking this was the answer to all of our problems. It still may be, but I'm starting to lean toward just doing the full day. Yesterday I was hardly at school and besides the goodbye, she was fine. I think she was even a little proud of herself for handling it. A few hours in the morning with me is alright (and I'm happy to do it), but I think in the end the hassle of running over to the school three times a day and the weirdness of being the one kid who gets to skip mornings may outweigh the benefits.

We'll figure it out. And, I'll probably write about it. At some point I hope to get back to writing a few times a week, but right now I think this blog will just have to stay on the backburner until further notice.
