Settled into Routine

I don't feel we often have days when our route could be considered "normal." It seems something noteworthy is always happening.  Today was as normal as they get.  If feel We've finally settled into the new year and our bus routine.  We had all regular AM children ride to their normal stops and all PM children ready and waiting without any hangups. 

Observations of interest: 

There was no PreK last Friday and Monday was Labor Day. 

I found an XL black hooded T-shirt on the bus when I got on.  Balie says she found it this morning,  damp like it had been on here all weekend. 

Today is Everleigh's last day at Sharron's. Tomorrow and until further notice we will be dropping her off at Krystal Jordan's.

Exum's mom is sleep training baby. Grandma is there right now so mom can get some needed rest.  Grandma is just as pleasant and happy as Exum's mom is. I always enjoy our stop out there. 

Stops went so smoothly today we actually ended up ahead of schedule, just enough that we drove past the north end of the lake on our way from Kallie's to Omari's, then we circled the lake again on our way to the grade school after picking up Aylise.

Sterling Lake is the lowest its been since we've moved here. You can see dry land all around the base of the island and almost under the bridge. The last time I remember it being like that was the first or second summer we were here when we had the Brownlee children over during the days while Larry and Amy were on a couples trip. It's crazy that our water table was completely full just this Spring. Those few weeks of 104° degree weather were really brutal on the land.
