I'm Back!

I got home from the retreat at about 1:00 this afternoon and have spent the whole afternoon with lots of interesting activities - catching up on blogs, looking at beautiful engagement pictures, and reading "A History of St. John's Waltz" that came in the mail this weekend.

The retreat was very nice-- we had a woman from Ohio who led some very informative Bible studies on the seasons of faith "Childlike Faith", "Growing and Sharing Faith", and "Maturing Faith". The studies were good, but I would have liked more interactive activities and discussions. There were some other fun activities, some quiet time, some walks, and way too much food.

Grandparent's Day was fun. I arrived a little too late to get a good seat for Ella's program and got a bit of a stiff neck trying to see her through the crowd (unfortunately she was in the bottom row). I got there earlier for Quinn's and had a good seat to watch him not do too much singing. He looked cute up there and had some shy hand motions. He was best at taking some bows after each song. They had some fun songs that I've never heard before. I'm not used to schools with so many children all the same age - probably 250 kindergardeners in each session. Quinn and Ella were both proud to show me around their classrooms and it was great to meet their teachers. Now I can picture them at school.

Have a great week!

P.S. I did get my homework assignment finished! Yay! Now to get started on next weeks!
