First day of School and 170th GST

Two months of not seeing the kids really does bring changes in them - they have all gotten so tall! It's strange to see kids in different classrooms though - feels so out of place! lol

Here's my GST for the day:

- getting up early enough to spend time with God before school

- seeing the munchkins again after two months and receiving a welcome back present! :)

- finally having my computer start up again after not wanting to all day!

- having some time tonight to get some things done that I have been putting off

- getting a phone call from my Daddy from America!

I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me. It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
