Back to School!

Summer is over and school has begun. Noah had a great first week and a half. He loves his 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Vaughan. She is really nice and has gotten Noah super excited about reading. Noah is happy because his favorite pal, Gabby, is in his class again. They sit right across from each other. Noah loves lunch time this year. He gets the school lunch and he loves it. I love it because I don't have to get anything ready in the mornings!

Dustin started classes this week as well. He is going to be BUSY! He has had such a nice summer break, everything seems so daunting right now. I know he will pull through as he always has. The kids will miss their Daddy, but it is the last semester!


Daniel starts his preschool again next week. Everything finally got worked out. There was so much confusion for awhile, but Daniel is back in the Community Ed. program with the same teacher and the same speech teacher as last year. I am really glad. Mrs. Norgren knows how to handle my son and what to do for him to help him. I am pretty sure Daniel will start out on his own carpet square again this year!


I also am introducing piano lessons to Noah. He is super excited and can't wait to start. Actually, we have started some and he is so excited to move on. It is so fun watching him learn. We are also continuing our nightly chapter book reading. I read him some books that are harder for him to read. It is our time together. We read Harry Potter II over the summer. We are now on the last Mouse and the Motorcycle book.

So that is our life in a nutshell- oh except for this: I was released as the Primary chorister a couple of weeks ago. I now get to enjoy my Sunday's. I actually needed to be let go because I am not dealing with my fibro pain well at all. It would take me a good 2-3 days to feel better after all my efforts on Sunday. With how busy Dustin will be this semester, I knew I physically could not continue on. So, now I am taking it easy and reading all the books I can, and keeping my family running as best as I can.

Your kids are getting so big! Tell Dustin good luck in his last semester! I'm so glad (for you) that he's almost done!
