So Dallon was dying to get back to school. He had only been for 1 day in 6 weeks! So on Monday he was very excited, and woke up saying, "its time to get ready for school!" When he came home on Monday, he brought home a big poster board with his name on it, and a letter explaining that he has been chosen as the "superstar of the month." So we are supposed to decorate his poster with things that make him special, and he can take things to school to share during circle time. I'm still brainstorming things he can take (that aren't too tempting to play with!) and we'll definitely use this opportunity to introduce Bianca to his class.
He also resumes speech therapy on Friday. He really needs all of these additional sources of stimulation (mostly because they require going somewhere other than here!). He's been pretty angry and frustrated over the last week or so before he went back to school. He still seems a little out of sorts, but hopefully he'll get back into the swing of things quickly.

Jace and I are doing some "preschool" at home on the days that Dallon is gone to school. Just puzzles, books, and songs for now. He doesn't seem to enjoy doing craft/art projects--only occassional coloring pages. He likes the busy activities that he can "experiment" with, so I'm digging up all of my best stuff for him. Hopefully the additional structure and stimulation will take some of his attention off of tormenting Bianca, and give us some time to spend one on one.

Chris is doing his last night shift tonight before his next 4 days off. This weekend it will be the first time we've had a chance to go to church all together since before we went to Ohio. When his day shifts fall on Sundays it gets a little hard for me, but its only 2 weeks in a row before he's back.

I am starting a program called FlyLady (flylady.net). It is a program to help organize the "chaos" in your home. Basically they start with little things you add to a daily routine, gradually building on it. The nicest thing about it for me is that they tell me what to do every day--so I don't have to plan out when to do things like clean out the closets or declutter my kitchen. Its going well so far!

Hope you are all starting out 2009 with great anticipation as we are!
