Steve started Year Two of Law School yesterday. This year, he'll be at UC Davis School of Law (Go Ags!). So far, so good. We are both a lot less anxious this year and better prepared for the road ahead of us. Steve has early morning classes this semester - so that means I'm on my own every morning for getting everyone up, diapered, dressed, fed, and out the door on time (oh - and myself showered and clothed...don't expect me to look glamorous!). Prayers for patience, balance, and perspective over the next 9 months are much appreciated.
One thing that will be different this school year - no TV in our home. We canceled our cable a few weeks ago and haven't really missed it since (except the last 2 Saturdays when Steve has REALLY wanted to watch a baseball game while eating his lunch). We are still able to watch DVDs, but our "screen time" has become a lot more intentional and less frequent. I'm once again watching the Second Season of The West Wing. Is there any better TV??. It is soooo good! And, Steve just got me a few seasons of Gilmore Girls for my birthday. I was a hit-and-miss Gilmore Girls fan when it aired, so it'll be fun to see all the episodes I missed early on. Anyone else have any suggestions of DVDs for me to rent and watch while Steve is studying into the wee hours of the night?
Oh - and one other bonus of not having cable - with the money we are saving each month on our bills, me, Jonah, Nico, and Riley joined a gym. Yay! Exercise (and a break) for me. Fun activities and play time for the kids. Extra study time for Steve. Win-Win-Win.

Go Ags! Good luck getting ready every morning Kacie, that is no small feat! I loved Gilmore Girls when it was on too!
So....I'm a little late to this party because I didn't know there was time in your life for a blog. I am interested in tracking the boys' progress on the weights, though! Jen and I watched a documentary on steroids last night...some guys started taking them at 16!
