1st Day of School

Hello friends!  It has been so long since I've blogged that I don't even know where to begin.  The past six months have been C R A Z Y.  Buying an older home, completely remodeling the home, moving with a 19 month old into the home that was still being remodeled... well, let me just say that we survived.  This summer has been very busy, too.  And if we weren't too busy then I was too tired to blog.  So there.  My excuses.  

Now onto the present.

Harper started Mother's Day Out yesterday at Christ United Methodist Church.  I have been looking forward to it for awhile :)  She will go on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-2, the school is only 0.7 miles from our house--so hopefully we'll walk to school when the weather cools off some, two of her little "friends" from the neighborhood are in her class, AND they have chick-fil-a day once a month.  It could not be better!

I've been pretty worried about how Harper would do all day though.  As expected, she did start crying hysterically when I left {and I'll admit, I was holding back tears of my own}, but she had a HUGE smile when I picked her up!  The teacher said that she had a great day and that she was very impressed with Harper's vocabulary.  {At that point I had to hold back happy and proud tears.}  This was her daily report from the teacher--

Apples???  New to me.

Harper was very excited when I {and later Jason} asked her about her day.  She told both of us that she played with cars, too.  I still expect a few tears when I drop her off tomorrow, but at least now I know the crying won't last long and she'll have a really fun day!

Oh, and just in case you are wondering, I barely sat down while Harper was at school.  I went to the grocery store, did laundry, changed sheets, ironed, got dinner together in the crock pot, and made Jason's lunches for the remainder of the week.  Luckily, Harper took a two hour nap after she got home and I was finally able to rest, too!
