back to school

Emmy went back to school on Monday.  She started her new fall gym schedule and had gym from 5-9 Monday through Thursday.  She's happy to have Fridays off finally.  This Friday night she went to a volleyball game at her school and then had a sleepover with her friends.  She went to a birthday party on Saturday night and is now at her Sunday afternoon gym practice.  She has youth group tonight to finish out the weekend.  It was a good week back for her and I think she's going to like her new schedule and more time to hang out with friends on the weekends.  

Bryce started school on Tuesday.  He's playing volleyball again this year and has practice right after school from 4-6.  Two days a week he goes straight from that practice to practice with his travel baseball team.  He's working hard but playing hard too.  He and Avery went out to dinner on Friday night and then he worked Saturday afternoon and then went to the Bailey Zimmerman concert with friends and spent the night out and met us at church this morning.  He's working an afternoon shift at the pool today and then he's doing a fantasy draft with his friends.  I'm glad he's found a balance of work and play.  

 

I'm still taking hundreds of pictures of this one and trying to figure out how to balance life around a puppy.  There's a lot more down time and time watching her every move that I'm not used to.  I like to be moving and accomplishing something all the time and I'm having a hard time staying caught up with life watching and chasing after her.  I'm interested to see what going back to work five days a week for me will look like with a puppy.  Jason and I have gotten a small glimpse into empty nesting this weekend with the kids' busy schedules.  We were able to go out last night for a quick date which was nice.
