Star Soul: Changes....and play at the Land Trust

Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a rough couple of weeks adjusting to all the changes. Esther and Benjamin both started school and the schedules are quite different. Though Esther had a rough first week, she is now liking Decatur Montessori and has made some sweet friends. Ben also is liking school, though it is already proving itself to be an intense program - as we knew it would be. We also got good news that I have been offered another part-time position. Starting Tuesday, I will be working with the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center. I will be leading school groups and doing programs. This is coming along right in time, as things always do! Esther is getting settled into school, Ben is busy with his program, and God knows we need the extra income. We are thankful!
As part of our new routine, E and I have been doing yoga in the mornings. Ben and I were at a loss for how to handle her rough transition (she's always loved school), so we thought this time together in the mornings would help. I bought her a children's yoga video and she seems to enjoy it. The instructors are a bit annoying to me, but they capture E's attention, so I endure it :)

Meditating - so sweet

Esther gets out of school at 3:00, so we have been doing little outings before Papa gets home. We met some friends at the local Land Trust this week and had lots of fun and exploration. They have a nice sandpit/play area, lots of community gardens, chickens, an emu, goats, and more.
