Hey friends! Hope you have all had a fantastic week. We are slowly getting back into a routine here. Both Trey and Makena started school this week. I have a college freshman as well as a high school freshman.
From what I can gather Makena has spent many hours in the library studying and has been getting well over 10,000 steps in each day not counting any workouts. She has a pretty busy schedule on MWF but only has two classes on T/TH. I believe she is carrying 16 hours this semester.
Trey has gotten up anywhere from 7-7:30 and cooked breakfast for me. It's nice having all of these eggs. We have had eggs, ready serve bacon or deer sausage, and toast. I'm rolling with it because I'm sure he will get tired of it soon. I just have to work on getting him to clean up his cooking mess. His classes have been going great. He has taken notes every day in Algebra just like Makena suggested. He doesn't love his physical science class. This is the point when math and science come together and it is going to be an adjustment. The first book report was assigned on Friday in his English 9 class, so we have to find a book this week. We have some here or he can always get an ebook from Kindle or our library 's Hoopla app. He has been finished with school by 12:30 or 1 and has chosen not to take breaks. I am very pleased with our first week!

Carlie has been busy working (she is on call two nights a week), spending time with Caleb, and planning a wedding. We hardly see her. I do her laundry and cook an occasional meal for her. Speaking of wedding planning, they are taking engagement pictures on Sunday afternoon and I can't wait to see them!
Carl and I are adjusting fairly well. So many changes have happened within about 6 weeks. I went from cooking for 5 people (regularly) at the beginning of June to just 3 (sometimes 4) by the middle of August. Trey is totally digging being the only child. We went to the river twice during the week (Carl hasn't started rice harvest yet) and he was able to try and ski until he was worn out. He got up almost every time but fell shortly after.
