We are learning a new routine this week.  With the schools being close to home now, Stuart also has to get ready in the morning as he is taking one of the kids to school.  He wants to leave earlier every morning so that he can return home in reasonable time especially when he has an morning teleconference.  I also have to get going as soon as possible as I have lost my little carpool buddies and the commute to work is longer especially when I go to Santa Clara.  It took me 45 minutes to get there on Wednesday; fortunately it only took 30 minutes today.  After work on Wednesday, I totally forgot about the long morning commute, and had committed myself to picking Connor up.  With some delay at work, I did not get on the road until 5:25pm.  I knew I would not make it to the school on time with the heavy traffic.  After a few missed calls, I was finally able to get a hold of Stuart who ended up picking up both Logan and Connor.  With that lesson learned, we had decided that Stuart will be picking up the boys on Wednesdays and Fridays when I am in the further work place. 

   Picking up both boys is actually sort of fun.  Nice to see what Logan is doing in school, and afterward, Logan enjoys going with us to pick up Connor too.  Lately, both of them have been attached to a couple small stuffed animals each.  Logan likes to carry his from the car to go to Connor’s school as he knows that Connor has one with him and doesn’t want to be left out.
