I simply cannot believe that my last post was in July! I stayed at home with the kids until November, so WHY oh WHY didn't I have time to blog? UGH. It will take me several posts to get caught up...but I'll do my best to remember the highlights.
Its now Jan 2012 and I can't think of another thing that we accomplished on the house, so the Living room update from July is still pretty current.
The boys started school in August. Carter is in 3rd grade in Ms. McKinney's room (funny, I know!). Hunter is in 1st Grade in Ms. Diggs room. They are both doing well, although Carter is a tad lazy in getting his work done. Ms. McKinney is really demanding, but I think its good for Carter. Ms. Diggs has been really good with Hunter as well, and although Hunter seemed to be behind in his reading at the beginning of the year, he is caught up and doing well!
Graham enjoyed staying home with me until November, and is now loving going to school with his friends. He is doing well with recognizing his letters and knows most of his colors in Spanish. He is SO PROUD of being a big boy, finally potty trained and got a real haircut from a REAL hair stylist yesterday! He is trying as hard as he can to be as big as his brothers!
Jason is still working hard at Volkswagen, he did changed positions when he came back in January, but it still seems like he is doing the same thing to me. He started back to school this month, and will be done in April 2013 at the latest. It is going to be a rough and busy year, but it will be worth it!
I've been blessed with the best job ever for our family. I am a data analyst for Optum Health and it is extremely flexible and a great fit for a busy mom. I'm able to work from home a day or two a week and can be home whenever the kids are sick as well. I can leave for appointments and then make up my hours at home. If I sit back and think about it, it is overwhelming how blessed we have been. I really did not expect to be able to have a family vacation this summer, but it appears that will not be a problem since I don't have to take my vacation time to take care of my family! Blessed indeed!
Will write more soon....and maybe even include pictures. :-)
