Update

It's been three weeks since my last post, so it's definitely time to ressurect the blog. There have been a couple major changes since my last entry. One, Isaac has started preschool. He's going to a church preschool that's only five minutes from my work, which is really nice. He started out last week, and so far he seems to enjoy it there.

At first, he cried when it was time for me to drop him off. Each day, the crying lessened. This week, he hasn't cried at all. He definitely notices when I'm leaving, but he doesn't freak out about it. When I pick him up in the afternoons, he seems happy with whatever he's doing at the time. It usually takes a minute for him to even notice I'm there, but once he does, his face lights up as he says, "Mommy! Mommy!" and then gives me a hug. That's the best part of my day, every day.

Another major change is that Wes has turned in his resignation from the pastorate. The demands of church, work, and home have all increased and become difficult to juggle. He announced his resignation on August 30th and offered to stay for a maximum of two months. The bylaws call for 30 days notice, but he offered one more month if they needed it. They'll meet this Sunday to decide.

School has been keeping me busy. There are so many facets to my job, that it becomes all consuming just by itself. FCA has also been keeping me busy, as we've been meeting biweekly. This Saturday, we're taking the kids to a football game. I'm looking forward to it, and the students are too.

Isaac is growing in leaps and bounds. He can feed himself with little to no help. He knows the whole alphabet and can count to five. He knows many shapes, colors, animals, etc. He's also learning how to write. Earlier this week, as he was scribbling on the paper, he was also calling out letters. I guess in his mind, he was trying to write them. He's also very tall. When he stands up, he comes up to my hip. People tell me all the time that pretty soon, he's going to be too big for me to hold or that he'll be holding me. I believe it!
