What a packed week!
The kids are all enjoying summer but have been forced to think ahead in preparing for school. Charlie had a special date with Nana to pick out all his school supplies while
Addi and I did more shopping for clothing options.
All the hard work this summer with the book launch paid off when Reclaimed: Finding Your Identity after Marital Betrayal was released Wednesday! Tim and I were overwhelmed with the reviews and personal notes sent our direction thanking us for the boldness to speak up and share. I found myself exhausted physically and emotionally as Tim and I toasted with a glass of wine.
Meanwhile, life moved on as Addison had high school orientation that morning and three of four kids had dentist appointments. Baylee also had her pre-school orientation this week where she already made friends and an impression with her teacher. This should be very entertaining to watch unfold as smarty pants may be bored but challenged to sit quietly and not talk all day long.
Addison and a friend were commissioned to paint for their past teacher so they used the morning t paint and afternoon to meet up with friends to prepare for high school.
Friday night, Tim and I were treated to dinner with our good friends, Kurt and Gwen before I flew out to Nashville for the Christian Product Expo.
Yes, a packed week.
I'm not sure the kids are ready for school next week but it's coming regardless!
