Back to the grind...

My guys!

Can you say cute NJ???

Wow...it's already the 24th of August and I am 29 weeks preggers! School starts back today...

Zack is taking his usual 5 - Taxation, globalization blah blah, statistics, and other senior accounting classes. Me, I have Finance, management information systems, business law, and business communication. No biggie!

I made a decision to change our schedule up a little and it seems to be a wise decision already. Usually Noah wakes up at 7-ish and he eats, watches tv and then we leave for school around 9:30. I usually sleep until 7:30 and boy do I cherish this time. However, I have decided to get up an hour early, get NJ up and get out the door. This alleviates the free/idle time he has in the morning that usually seems to frazzle me to no end. Well, we left at 7:55, he's at school and I have already been to OfficeMax, the dry cleaners, and grocery store all by 9:30! And, I am not frazzled, Zack is not frazzled, all is calm.... it's not that it needs to be calm per say, we can just now hear ourselves think. I was however, a little sad because Noah will be going to school more often and when I say more often, I mean every day. This is the first time in three years that I will not be with Noah at all during the week. Of course I have the option of staying home with him Fridays, but I am getting so tired these days and it almost seems better for everyone that I take him.

We had a great weekend for the family...Astros game Saturday night - on the front row...Sunday we got a few steps closer towards getting the house ready for baby girl Schwartz. We are having to get the room cleared out and also transition noah into some new surroundings in his room. We are using the term "big boy" when we introduce him to his new furniture and decor and he seems to like the new responsibility. Zack's mom said she was going to get the baby bedding ASAP because she feels it mght help with some of my "nesting" and relieve some anxiety about the baby.

The game was fun and of course we left early... Noah gets a little fidgety and we lasted until the 6th inning which is pretty good for an active 2 year old boy! Noah loved to cheer when everyone else did....not knowing really what was going on of course! He is a huge sports fan and watches Sports Center with Zack every morning. We recorded the X-games for him and we watch the skateboarders about once a week!

Also, a GREAT friend and I got some shopping done for the baby shower! I am so excited and will write more about that as the date gets nearer.

Zack is taking his GMAT this coming Saturday and he has been studying so hard. His goal is to get accepted into the MBA for professionals program at Rice. His score are pretty high on all of his practice tests so I am hoping he can do this - for himself. He has come such a long way...but that's a whole other blog. I am so proud and grateful that he is my partner.

Well, on a last note, my oldest son Dylon started his first day of high school today. He is on the JV football team and is doing weight training and practice every day of the week. I can' believe that I have a child that is a freshman in high school. H is a great kid and is so much like his father its funny. - he LOVES women, or girls should I say. I wish I could see him more and I miss him terribly. I know that no matter how old he gets, I still want to hold him and let him know that he is going to be ok and that I'm here...maybe in a couple of weeks.

Well, it's time for me to relax before I start the second half of my day. I am putting some pics of us at the game!
