A New Familiar Sight

Lee started school this week! He has been so excited all summer and couldn't wait for this past Monday to finally roll around. He had orientation for three days last week, but the real thing started Monday. He's been trying really hard to form a routine for himself. He gets up early and gets to school to start reading, goes to class, eats lunch in the library while he's reading, goes back to class and then back to the library to read or study more until 6:00 or so. YUCK! Lee's sort of a geek at heart...he loves to learn. But even this has been different for him. We're hoping that after this week we'll get more used to the routine and things will settle down a little more. Just a little bit of both would do us good! I'm so proud of him for working so hard...even though I've had to go to bed by myself a few nights this week!

We're going to Pontotoc to see Lee's parents this weekend, and I am so excited. We have both had some long days this week and are exhausted, so it will be so nice to just relax and take a break. That's become one of my favorite things about going to stay with Lee's parents...you really do unwind and rest while you're there. It couldn't come at a better time!

How long is law schoo? I guess this routine will continue for some time. At least you will have a baby to entertain you. He will do great! I hope you have a relaxing weekend!

What do you think about the beach trip. I still want to do it of course. If we do it in July, do you think I will be able to leave a three month old? I have no idea. I am all about going still.
