I am super excited about our new fall schedule & routines! Audrey is at an age where she just loves getting out and doing things and I have found much joy in providing that for her.
On Mondays she is thrilled to go to her dance class, Tuesdays she and Will enjoy 2 hours of play at the church while I get a much needed bible study (Beth Moore - Living Beyond Yourself, Fruit of the Spirit). Every other Wednesday I have MOPS and Audrey attends MOPPETS (childrens bible curriculum) while Will gets loved on in the nursery. On our off weeks of MOPS we attend the Library Story Time where we are entertained with a mini movie, stories, songs, puppet shows and arts/crafts. Hopefully we will also squeeze in playdates with friends on the off days - but the older they are getting the harder it is to sync up their schedules.
During our home time, Audrey is getting VERY good at playing independently right now and I enjoy working with her using preschool workbooks, puzzles, games etc. I am so blessed to live in a town that provides us options where I can stimulate her little brain and imagination since Charles and I have chosen to hold off on preschool until she is 4. I know that next year she would absolutely love it, heck, I know she'd love it now - however, these years go by too fast and even go by faster now that Will is here... I LOVE being a stay at home mama and enjoy so much when there is balance in our weeks as we are finding this fall. Time for me to get together with other moms at church, through bible study and MOPS and time for Audrey to interact and play with others and time for all of us to play and learn together. Like I said, I am thrilled with our schedule and just know it is good for all of us.

Can't wait to see her dance! I bet she will be a hoot. Looking forward to seeing you all on your "off" Weds.
Go girl! Your schedule sounds awesome and I am so glad that you can squeeze in things for you, like your bible study. Such times are essential to stay sane and balanced!
