On the Go

With the start of a new school year for me and the start of a new semester of graduate classes (and fantasy football season) for Erik, we have been on the go all week.  There is a certain rush that comes along with those first few chaotic days - getting out the door in the morning, scrambling to get everything prepared and organized, meeting the students and their parents, and trying to make each new year, better than the last.  Throw in working with several new staff members, new technology (oh, and pumping) and you've got yourself a pretty non-stop day.  Then rush to the sitter's to get Elsa and we start the most fun (and sometimes tiring) part of the day. 

  
On top of the work craziness, we also managed to celebrate my 29th birthday (a couple times).

My sweet helpers! 

 However, no one has been on the go nearly as much as Elsa!  She has mastered crawling, getting faster by the hour, can pull herself up on just about anything, and is loving to practice standing up all by herself!  

So Proud!

 Hoping for a few more "free" moments in the next few weeks...
