Return to the Real World

Well here it is almost the middle of September and we have returned to the real world! Ian's first week of classes is this week and I have been back at work for almost 2 1/2 weeks now.

We returned home from camp on Saturday August 26th, unpacked, went grocery shopping, and enjoyed the quiet solitude of home. Cotton rejoined us from my parents house the next day and Tigger on Wednesday and our family was once again complete! I enjoyed a couple days of lazy relaxation and some enjoyable boredom before returning to work on Tuesday the 29th while Ian slept in for another whole week yet.

Ian's class registration was on Labor Day Monday and condensed classes followed on Wednesday and Thursday and by Friday the 8th he was in the full swing of things once again. Ian's course load consists of one Monday-Wednesday class, three Tuesday- Thursday classes and one Friday class; for a grand total full semester load of 5 classes. On top of that he is a faculty assistant to one of his professors, and he has a part time job at the ice rink here in Caronport. So in other words between 2 jobs, 5 classes and labs and homework he will be very busy!

I am working with the same student and am still amazed each day at what new things he has learned since the day before. He is eager to learn and soaks up my every word. It is so nice and so incredibly enjoyable. I go home tired each day but always looking forward to the next day when I will teach him something new (and maybe even learn something new myself). I have printed off pictures of our holiday (around 90 out of 280 that I took) and eagerly await time to scrapbook them. It seems like forever since I have scrapbooked anything but I guess that what happens when you take a 2 month break for camp.

Well I have been sitting here string at the screen not writing anything for over five minutes so I guess that means that I have run out of updates to give so I will sign off; I still have lots of baking to do to fill my freezer full of goodies (for when you all come to visit of course!-remember you are always welcome!)

Love Ian and Jenn, Cotton and Tigger
