After making it through a few homeschool days where being entertained is something that Cooper missed out on, he was excited to have a "Cooper Day" yesterday while the big kids were at school.

Yesterday was Allie's first day of 6th grade. At a new school! For her 6 previous years of school she has been at the same school. With the same friends - friends that we know well. With teachers that we know or knew of. In a classroom with the same teacher all day, every day. Yesterday, not only was she going to a place that the friends and teachers and curriculum and atmosphere would be different... she was going to change rooms for every class for the first time ever and was going to be intermixed with kids through 12th grade. It was a big step. (maybe bigger for the mommy than the kid :) ) Allie impressed me so much as she confidently stepped up to the challenge. She was excited about her new school and all that awaited her there.
Day 3 of our weekend in San Antonio was spent at one of my favorite places... Sea World. Really... I LOVE it there!
After a day that began in the 5 o'clock hour and included leaving the house at 7:30 am and not returning until almost 4 pm, I am so happy to be unwinding at this computer right now! Corey & Jack are gone to flag football practice, Allie is at Bible Study, and Cooper is napping. The house is a mess after a morning full of first-day-of-school-hustle-and-bustle, but it is quiet and calm... Life is good.
