Getting back into "life"

We have loved having Daddy home the past 2 weeks.  It's always a little crazy when we are out of normal for more than a week. Today we find ourselves re-establishing a more normal routine.  I am excited about this new semester and some of the changes we are implementing. Today there has been a little resistance getting back to school but once we got started it went well. Most days last semester were pretty messy and I felt like we did a bunch of running around. Today, I am thankful for a slow day at home. Here are a couple of H and P's creations

P's:  something about a jewel garden and if you steal the jewels you are never allowed to return. It is also a play park

H's:  city

You can tell which of them is the more imaginative 

For 2014, I am hoping to slow down more, relax (not the sit on the couch kind) more, and enjoy what the Lord has in store for us.
