Big Week!

Wow, what a week we've just completed! Last weekend was "Day Out With Thomas". It was Chase's third year there and Zach's first. Although we were dodging the remnants of a hurricane (thanks, Rob & Becky), it turned out to be a gorgeous day! The boys had such a good time... and so did we!

On Monday, Chase had his first day of pre-school. I stayed home from work in the morning to take part in the event... such a special memory! He goes to Star of Bethlehem Christian School just 2 miles down the road. Although it's a Christian school, the students are predominantly Indian and Hindu. Apparently the school does no advertising other than word of mouth and the Indian community is very tight and spreads the word that this is a good school to attend. Chase is a minority in the school, but we figure it's probably good for him... and for us! Chase goes 3 days a week from 9 to noon. And he loves it!

Thursday, Chase started swimming lessons. Although he's signed up for a class at the Boys & Girls club, there are so many time options, no one else signed up for this class... so he gets a private lesson! If you saw Chase swim this summer, you'll understand just how much he loves swimming. The being told how to swim, though, was new... and he's still getting used to the idea that being in the pool isn't just about having fun doing you're own thing!
