Heather started school on Monday which went very well. She seemed a bit reluctant at first to line up and wanted us to stay close by but walked into the school with her class and didn't look back. I didn't cry or anything (too much other stuff going on) and met her happily at the end of the day. She is in a 1/2 split class and I think her teacher will be very good. She's very straightforward and I believe will expect a lot from the kids. Heather will do great as long as she can keep her best friend from talking to her too much!! Jeff left on Tuesday so Heather missed the second day. I told most people not to come to the airport to watch me bawl but a few people came and didn't see too much of a meltdown. The kids gave him lots of hugs and we sent him off with some pictures and a video to remind him of home. We watched him get on the bus to the plane and then go up the ramp (waving to us) onto the plane. Charlie insisted on watching the plane take off so we watched it right into the air and disappear. We then went to try out a new playground and have a picnic lunch. Our friends had us over for dinner which was GREAT! By 8:00 we were back at the airport to pick up Jeff's mom who is here to visit for 2 weeks. The kids gave her a warm greeting and started asking about presents right away ;-). Yesterday while Heather was at school we took her to the coast to check out the waves and a swimming hole (we didn't go in) then came back for an afternoon at the park by our house. Jeff called a few times and played peek-a-boo with a laughing cameron, did math with Heather, and knock-knock jokes with Charlie.
