Back and Busy and Blogging

Thought I'd only be doing this during my trip, but there's so much to say! So I'll keep the blog going a bit longer.

We've volunteered our house for a family rescued from Hurricane Katrina, but don't know when ( if?) they will arrive. Many of the people in shelters want to stay as close to their home as they can - I've heard that over 300,000 have relocated to Houston and are overwhelmed by the generosity of the families there. I am glad to see it.

Sabrina's first day of kindergarten is today! The first day is a short one, from 10-12 noon, and I get to come with her. Tomorrow is the first official day (without parents). It meant a few last minute changes to my work schedule, which is fortunately flexible... but some things are more important than others. There's no way I'd miss kindergarten!

I'll post pictures later. She looks SO cute. Last night, while looking through some of her school things, I found a picture from her first day at day care... five years ago. It made me laugh to see the difference and to think about how much has changed.

Still can't believe I'm the mother of a kindergartener.
