Another day of Preschool begins...

Well, today is Hannah's second day of preschool, and I'm really excited to make it more productive/less tiring for us this time around. Maybe those two phrases seem paradoxical, but in my mind, I can picture how it will all work out. :) The day is shaping up to be fun but not too crazy, so that's a good thing!
This morning my dear friend Elizabeth welcomed her second child into the world, and I am SO excited for her. I was on pins & needles yesterday waiting for the call, and I finally had to go to bed without knowing if/when she'd had the baby yet! What about my needs, huh? ;) J/k, Elizabeth, I know you had more important things to do...Anyway, I am hoping we get a chance to see her & her new baby girl at some point today.
After/before that, Hannah will go to preschool again. She asked on Tuesday when she would get to go again, and to a young busy girl like Hannah, two days probably seems like an eternity! Plus, today they have dance, so she is EXTRA excited. She was hoping she would get to wear her ballerina outfit, but I said maybe just a dress. ;)
While Hannah is at preschool, I get to hang out with two more of my favorite women of Grace--Janice & Jessica--while we do some prep work for Fall Bible Study time...which is just around the corner!! (Yay!) That should be a nice way to keep myself & Gemma busy during the preschool hours, since Jessica practically lives around the corner from the church!
Later we'll head home and have a low-key evening, since Keith will be at worship rehearsal until after bedtime. Sounds like a good day to me...with the added benefit of sunshine, I know it will be great!

Since I didn't really post anything about Tuesday after Hannah was done with school, I should fill you in. She seemed to have lots of fun, and the teacher assured me she did great. As we were leaving the parking lot, we spotted Daddy's work truck. He had come to youth group early so that he could meet us and take us out for ice cream in celebration of Hannah's first day! We had a good time, and both girls had the mandatory ice cream rings around their mouths.
Trying to get Hannah to share stories about the first day was a little difficult, as she was already giving us the typical answers of "Nothing," "I don't know." (Really?! At four?!) We finally heard a few things while she was talking to her Grandma's on the phone (at separate times.) She REALLY likes Spanish, and they did some sort of handprint/paint project, which I'm sure she loved! They also played Follow the Leader and sang a Good-bye song as each student left for the day. (You know the one, "Good-bye Hannah, Good-bye Hannah, Good-bye Hannah, we had a lot of fun..." Sing along!) :)
All in all, that first day went well, and Hannah seems excited about going back, which is always a good sign.

Now on to day two, and all the fun that will bring...
