The past 2 weeks have been very busy with everyone starting school.........yes everyone! Brendan started 5th grade on the 18th, so far so good, he really likes his 2 teachers. Dylan also started on the 18th. He is now in 2nd grade and this year we are doing a virtual school called Connections Academy, it is homeschooling with a teacher on the computer giving live lessons, assignments, tests, etc. and on our end there are learning coaches, myself and 3 of Dylan's current teachers/therapists. So far it is going really well. Dylan has to get used to more school work this year, but when he does he'll be fine. Last but not least, little Miss Maddie started school on the 23rd. She is a "peer buddy" in the preschool program at Laurel Hill Primary and goes for 3 hours each morning 5 days a week. She did really well her first week, she only cried the first day, since then, she's been fine. I really thought the separation would be much worse, but I am happily surprised. She is doing great and meeting lots of new friends. Her teacher is the same teacher that Dylan had when he went through the preschool program for 2 years. I am enjoying my 3 hours each morning being "Maddie free" and getting odd jobs done. The separation is good (healthy) for both of us:)
Other than school, cub scouts is now in full swing again and this year Andy & I are more involved. Right now we are doing the annual popcorn sale, so if anyone wants popcorn................
Next Thursday will be our 2 year "Gotcha Day" anniversary. It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years, how time flies. We are looking forward to celebrating another year with our baby girl!
