BLT's for FHE

Tonight we had our first FHE in our new house. Alan and I have set some new goals now that we are in "post-student" life, one of them being regular family home evening on Monday nights, which had not been a regular occurrence in our home with Alan's schedule. It was so fun to spend the evening together. We had a great talk all about being a child of God. Alex has a big day tomorrow- his first official day of preschool- and the theme for the day will be "getting to know you." We wanted to make sure that Alex knows the most important thing about himself- that he is a child of God. We also had to fill a bag for him to take with him to school tomorrow with 5 things that are important to him or tell something about him. Here are the five items that made it into the bag: a baseball, a mini Texas flag, a picture of Will, the label off of the package of bacon from our BLT's (he ate about a 1/2 lb. himself- he loves bacon!), and of course, Thomas-the-tank-engine.
On another note, we seem to be getting busier and busier by the day here in Arizona. We started today by sleeping through our first day of our new playgroup, after which we rushed around to get ready for preschool orientation this morning, and then this afternoon Alex had Sports Class at Little Gym. I'm missing our lazy summer mornings in Texas where we stay in our pajamas until 11 am when we would then get in the pool in backyard. No driving, no shuttling around, no unpacking and organizing to do-just relaxing and maybe having friends over to play. What good memories. Tomorrow it's off to preschool by 8:30, visit from the relief society at 10am, unpack and organize until preschool pickup and cousin playdate at 12pm. And the move-in to-do lists just keep growing!!
