Can I just say I am loving school!? Some of the classes I thought I would not really care about are becoming my favorite ones. I love the star program that I started as well. Thanks to this blog, I am choosing to be optimistic in my life. Some days are easier than others. However, My life is full of opportunities to meet and inspire, and have others inspire me. I am grateful for the trials in my life because they have formed and shaped me who I am today. I am taking my time with school, since I won't be going anywhere until Faith is in school herself. It is nice to take my time and still enjoy being a stay at home mom. When I do go further, I am wanting to become a child life specialist in the burn unit or in a Cancer Unit. We will see. That or teaching. Now about the kids,This year I was able to put together all their baby calendars, books, and scrapbooks up to age 5! I am glad to say I finally have done it so I don't lose any more memories or pictures! Hannah started 2nd grade and has a guy teacher. She didn't like that at first, but with her Dad being gone I think it's great. She changed her mind and said he was a cool teacher when he gave her a "Milky Way" candy bar since they were learning about outer space this year. Austin starts Kindergarten next wed. I am a little nervous for him socially. He is very smart (hence he had to listen to me teach preschool for three years) but I told him he couldn't run down the hall and he replied, " I am not running mom, I am skipping." good Luck to his Kindergarten teacher! It will be good for him. The little stinker and his friends got a pocket knife and tore all our bark off the tree. I called the nursery, my mom, and Trent's dad and pretty much my tree will likely die. :( Faith is such a cutie and growing up so fast. She loves barbies. It is so funny to sneak and watch her go into Hannah's room and start singing with the Barbies. She is always bringing me up a barbie so I can change her dress to a "pretty" one. Hannah loves to say " Faith, Have you been to the mall" (it's a saying off of Chicken Little, and for some reason they find it hilarious.) well now Faith says, " NANNA (hannah), You benamal" It is cute. Well needless to say, we are busy busy busy!!!
