51 hours... but who's counting?

51 hours until ed comes home again. he's off on his final week of training in erie and i'm very ready for him to come home. i decided to take advantage of the time he was away and got a number of things organized in the house (his closet, the boys clothes & game room, etc) and that went really well. now, i'm trying to tackle getting a bunch of my junk organized in our "utility room" (read "catch all/disaster room") but the truth is, i'm just ready to be done with his being away.
so far, the new job is going well (despite the insurance nightmare i've been going through trying to get things switched over. much more complicated with kids than it was when i was single and changing jobs!) and ed is excited about what's ahead with this company. again, i'm just thankful he's got a job that he likes to go to every day.
evan had his first trumpet lesson on monday and loved it. told me he was one of the best in the class - of 4th graders playing instruments for the very first time. i'm very proud of him and very thankful not to have witnessed the experience. the more i think about it, the more i appreciate and respect elementary school band teachers!! taylor has his first cross-country meets this thursday and friday. we're really excited about that! drew's got baseball practice tonight and games over the weekend and noah has a game tomorrow night and over the weekend. lots going on for the guys. oh, and we've already got to do a little restructuring with homework arrangements. apparently, there is a miscommunication when i ask if homework is done... i gather that the boys don't understand and think that i'm just exchanging pleasantries... ahhh, back to school and homework issues. lovely.
anyway, things are good on our front. :)
