Quiet Days

Life is settling down nicely now that school schedules are in full swing. There is a predictability to everyday, which has been kind of nice compared to the on-the-go summer. Aidan continues to love school after his first full week. He even asked if he could go over the weekend because he was having so much fun. I'm sure that attitude will not last for long, so we are really trying to enjoy it! Cian had a more difficult time last week than we were expecting. He is becoming very sad as we drop him off and really having a hard time keeping his emotions in tact. Thursday was much better then Tuesday, so hopefully tomorrow will be even better.
The boys and I spent the weekend at the lake as Susie work all three nights again. (It really stinks when she has to do that!) We had a nice quiet weekend and hung out with my cousin Jared, who was in town for a few days. Jared has decided to join the priesthood and leaves tomorrow to start his journey. He is joining the Legionaries of Christ order. Jared is an amazing person and a joy to be around. He exudes happiness and peacefulness. It is bitter sweet for our family as we know how dedicated and happy he is with his decision, but his family will greatly miss him. During his first two years of training he can have little contact with his family. It will be a tough road for his parents and siblings, but one well worth it in the end. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts!
