still here

Well, we have now been back in Ohio for a week and have officially begun the craziness of August. Tony left this morning for RD training and will not return until Thursday evening. Zoe is already pointing outside and saying "dada" so he is obviously missed:)Zoe is going to daycare three days this week so I can go to school and get some work done. I have a few days of in-service in the next couple weeks and then my first day of school is the 25th. So far and I am excited about my new job. The school is amazing, the staff that I have met are very helpful and friendly and there are more resources than I could imagine! I am only teaching 5th grade math and Language which means only 2 preps. I have never had that both in Guatemala and last year I had multiple preps, so this will be a new and hopefully good experience.
Today was Zoe's first day of daycare and I was very interested to see how that would go. It could not have gone better, which iIshouldn't have been surprised about considering how social she is. The moment I set her done she was off and playing and didn't flinch when I said good-bye and walked out the door. When I returned this afternoon to pick her up they were outside in the pools and she didn't want to leave with me she was having so much fun, so I guess that is a good thing.
Like I said Tony returns Thursday just in time for his parents to get here Friday. We are planning on going to two twins games this weekend with them while the Twins are in Cleveland. And then Tony has a very busy few weeks ahead of him including one more retreat. I remembered that I didn't see much of my husband last August, but now that I am working also, we will pretty much not see each other until September. But we both love our jobs and are excited for this next year, so that is a great blessing!
I only have one picture to share, I haven't taken many pics lately.
Zoe loves to feed herself, so we usually undress her and let her go at it. It does result in some wasted food but she loves it and she has to learn sometime;)

So nice to hear from you.Glad Zoe likes her baby sitter.Is the sitter a friend of yours or did you have to find a regular licensed baby sitter? Sounds like she maybe has more children that she care for.

Where has the summer gone? Seems like everyone is asking that. WE have been getting the right amount of rain but Siouz Falls is getting way to much. Lots of flooding there.We were to Vonda on Sat. and o my goodness south eastern S F is under water. Feel so sorry for them. Take care love grandma v w
