Wednesday news

Queeny is here! Yaay! We've been having lots of fun with her. Yesterday after I picked Courtney up from the airport we headed straight to the train station to get Cooper from his field trip. The little train staion was sooo cool. It is the Willmington Western Railroad. The preschoolers took a schoolbus to the station and then took a 45 minute long train ride. Cooper looked so big in the train with all his friends. I was having major guilt trip about not going with him, but was very happy when I checked around and found out that a lot of the other moms didn't go either. Cooper spotted Queeny while he was still on the train. He couldn't get off fast enough after that. He was pointing her out to his teacher and had the biggest grin ever.

We picked Austen up and he was thrilled to see his Queeny! Last night I cheated and ordered chinese food for dinner. I had my training class so I neede something that was quick and easy to clean up. Chris and Courtney got everyone into bed and watched a movie until I got home. I made them record American Idol and wait to watch it until I got home. That is the only problem with my Tuesday night class, I will miss American Idol oh- well, I suppose that's why we have the DVR.

My class was fascinating as usual. Last night we learned about domestic and family violence. Delaware has a very high prevalance of family violence.. Like 1/3 of the women have been victimized...yikes! I cam ehome energized. I finally feel like I have something that is mine and I can take pride in, other than my beautiful family, of course. It's a great way for me to get involved with this community. AND>>>small world...the lady who taught last nights session has a brother who lives in Highland Village with his family. so she called her 17 year old niece, who did not go to my school, but her best friend was in my class in 1997. I also taught her sister. How bizarre is that???

Today we drove around Wilmington and explored Trolley Square some. COurtney really likes this area. Tonight I think Aussie is going to make his now famous meatza pizza balls for us for dinner. He is becoming quite the little chef.

Oh- that last post with Jamie's fuzzy picture was my first attempt to post a video. I got instructions from Shauna, but obviously messed something up so I'll keep trying. It is a cute video that Jack sent us in which he says "Papa". Jack is thrilled that he said his name first. so we will help him brag about it (smile) Love those grandparents!!!! Y'all have a great night! Queeny leaves us in the morning so back to business as usual we will miss her tons!
