Quiet Mornings and Busy Afternoons

On the mornings that Chloe and Claire attend pre-school, Chris has moments of sheer boredom, I'm sure. I tried to liven up his life by taking him in to visit Claire and Chloe's tiger. This is the tiger that guards their room according to them. His interest amounted to trying to get that big paw into his mouth....

His entertainment for this moment was a "busy" toy that has lots for him to spin, move and juggle. He was talking and carrying on quite a conversation with Papa when the pictures below were snapped. We, of course, enjoy every quiet moment we have with him.



The girls come home from school early afternoon and the loud fun times begin. Chris watches them like a hawk taking in all the conversations and laughter. He is never short on entertainment when they are around. Below you see Chloe and Claire making the rounds to say good-bye to their friends at the end of their school day. On Friday when I picked them up we weren't even to the car and they started saying, "I'm going to really miss my friends." I reminded them that they would see them once again on Monday, but that was little comfort for them.

Finally, after several good-byes they head for me and eventually to the car. We are so thankful they enjoy school so much, and are so thankful for the great school and staff that teaches them.

They are definitely in the right place.

Enjoy the final month of summer...
