A week in our life::5
a few photos and thoughts.

Stories/quotes:

Breanna's friend Madison (also with Down syndrome) held her hand all the way out the door after school today and have her a hug goodbye--so sweet!

Places I went:

• The bus stop and back
• Drop Breanna at preschool
• The gym for a TOUGH workout
• home to take a shower
• to the grocery store
• Home to unload
• Pick Breanna up at school
• Home to eat a quick lunch and chat with Helen
• Work.

Struggles:

• seeing our friends daughter (who is 2 days younger than Breanna) how grown up she is and how much she TALKS!
• not sitting down once all day even to eat (until I got to work)
• deciding what type of cake to get Breanna for her birthday party this weekend (she doesn't like cake)--so I decided on a vanilla ice cream pie that I would make myself.
• the assignment for the photography class this weekend (it's hard!)
• not getting to tuck my kids in tonight and see Trevor reading (I miss him!)
• not having my project 365 photo done or my 7 days photos done today (like I said, I didn't sit down)
• not getting to folding the socks or putting the clothes away.
• my camera running out of battery when I was out (didn't I just charge this thing!)
• thinking about Jeff leaving in a few days
• thnking aobut Breanna's birthday party this weekend and how she doesn't really understand birthdays yet.
• Lucas' fussiness and sleeping schedule.

Good things

• good food in the house--shrimp cocktail for lunch and a Waldorf salad for dinner
• not having to get gas in either car this week
• TGIF!
• Talks with Helen ("every family has their stuff")
• Trevor's weekly progress note --all A++!
• Just heard that our new neighbors have three kids our kids ages!
• Lighting up our pellet stove on this cold morning and smelling the smell of the burning wood as I was walking back from the bus stop.
