With the kids back in school, life has a routine again. Brooklyn is in 8th grade (middle school), Savannah in 6th, and Jordan in 1st. Savannah and Jordan ride the bus together and she is his protector and buddy. At first she wasn't so sure she wanted to be, but as the week went on she began to enjoy her roll. And Jordan is happy to have her help. Troy (he's 3) enjoys having mom all to himself during the day and loves dragging her around to do things for him. Mom is hopeful that he'll potty train soon and go to preschool a couple of days a week (so she can get a few things done without kids constantly needing something). Of course, he is her last one and so she tries to remember to enjoy all the cute things he does because he'll grow up way to fast. Dad has been helping out, too. He drives Brooklyn to school often and even changes diapers when he isn't working hard selling paragliders and flying them. Yesterday, Dell flew for 8 hours and 8 minutes (a new personal record) on a trike (paramoter with 3 wheels) and had a ball. When mom isn't busy with kids, she's off attending births as a doula (someone who provides comfort measures to a woman during labor, as well as help before and after birth). She has attended 6 births now as a doula (in the past year and a half) and has loved every minute of it. Two of those births were for friends from high school so they were even more special to her. Teresa is also training for the St George marathon with some of her family (brother- Tom, sister- Maren, and sister-in-law--Teresa). This October will be her 4th time running the marathon. Needless to say, we're all busy having a Totally Awesome time! =)
