Making progress

It's been a week and Schwen is back to liking school again. Her class went on a field trip to a farm and she was able to experience riding on the bus...could be part of why she likes school again! She also has a good buddy-Jessica and the teachers all seem to enjoy her also.
I took the girls up north to visit friends and family. It was a whirlwind weekend but they had a fantastic time. We stayed at the home of a childhood friend-she has twin girls who are 10 and they were fantastic with my girls. Jia has always loved going to their house and now Schwen does also. She even cried when we left. I've known Mary since we were young children and her sister Tina has been my best friend since we were 3 years old. We were also able to visit with our friends the Gargacs whose daughter Hayley is one of Jia's best friends. Schwen met my niece Tammy and her husband Matt and two of her sons Josh and Chris and also her Aunt Judy and Uncle Tom. It was a good weekend.
Jia's soccer season is winding down-just two games left which is good because it is starting to get dark a lot earlier. We'll have a week break after soccer and then she begins practicing for the winter play at the Arts Castle.

Weather permitting we are having a bonfire this weekend. Adam will set up a spook trail for the girls and their friends. The weekend will be busy. We have friends from Cleveland who will be in town for a wedding and we plan to meet them for breakfast on Sunday and then meet our friends Deb, Austin and McKala for an afternoon at Circle S farms. I don't know how it happens but we rarely have any free weekends. It seems to be this way with so many people nowdays. The girls were invited on a playdate this weekend and we could not make it. Their friends mother and I were trying to find a free weekend for the girls to play and we could not find one between now and christmas. I'm going to have to find a remedy for this. In the meantime I'll enjoy this beautiful fall weather!
