New School Year

Our new living room

Torrie loves to help Mommy cook

The kids have had lots of fun with their new sandbox

School has now been in session for several weeks, and Thor is enjoying his classes thus far. Our schedule always stays busy during the school terms with all of the activities that go on here. We had Torsten's preschool class at our house this week. Keeping 8 three and four year olds busy for 2 hours is always a challenge, but it went fine. Their attention spans aren't very long. We moved Torrie upstairs to her new bedroom this week, so that the room she has been using will be free for the new baby. We didn't put her there right away, because she still falls sometimes going up and down stairs. She wasn't happy about the change for the first several days, but seems to be adjusting fine now. I think she'll actually sleep better there, because there will be less noise coming from the rest of the house. She's a very light sleeper, and we don't think it would have worked well for her to share a room with the new baby. We are all looking forward to the arrival of our new little one sometime over the next month.
