Last year's answers

Summer!!

• First Graders- Can you believe the boys finished their first year of school? I no longer have two kindergartners, I have first graders! They both had great K experiences. I'm thankful for their teachers and school principal. I've been told who they each have next year and I'm thrilled! I think it's a perfect fit for both.
• Adoption is almost here after two and a half years of waiting! We meet with the new adoption worker today, and we've already chosen an attorney. It should move fairly quickly from this point. Matthew is our son. The adoption just makes it legal. He feels this way too. The other day at the pharmacy drive thru Jason needed to refer to Matthew as our foster son to the pharmacist. Matthew waited a moment and said, "Foster son. Am I not adopted? Do I have to move somewhere else to be adopted?" Broke. My. Heart. What goes through that little mind....

• God sure blessed our family when he gave us Ms. Judy! I can't even begin to describe her. She's a treasure. Maggie absolutely loves her and I can't think of anything I want more when she's away from home.
• New Job?? I hope so! After successfully piloting a 1:1 iPad classroom, our district is going forward with a 1:1 high school! Yes, EVERY student will be given an iPad next year! I'm very excited about this. If I'm in the classroom or in a resource teacher position, I look forward to the next generation learning that will be going on in Woodford County! I applied for a Technology Resource Teacher position. I'll keep you posted...
• Tee Ball- The boys are having a great time and improving their skills, however, the Mets aren't exactly having a winning season. Actually, we haven't won one game. The boys sure would like to pull one out. Our next game is Saturday at 12:45. Maybe this will be the one??
• Austin's 6th Birthday was a success! He and his friends had a blast on the inflatable slide, racing, and breaking a piñata. My parents, Jason, and I were flat exhausted after the fun was over.
• We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge over Memorial Day, went camping last weekend, and are heading to the beach soon! Happy Summer!
