Marquis started 1st grade on Aug. 22. He has an absolutely AMAZING teacher. She is able to deal very well with his lack of focusing skills. It's wonderful to hear a teach tell me that she knows he tries so hard to focus but just can't. He's doing wonderfully academically. He has aced all of his test so far. :) We are so proud of him and thankful that no medication has been necessary! Such a blessing!
Kaitlyn is doing really well. She is taking a break from gymnastics. she just got so bored with it that we decided to give her a break and try again in a year or so when it's actually more challenging and different. She is doing preschool with a few friends from Church. She loves to read and learning. She's always asking for more and more information to learn. Wonder what will happen next year...hopefully she won't be too bored in Kindergarten!
Mike is still working for the IRS. He's also going to school. Yes, we are again doing the college thing. He takes only two classes a semester but this semester he is gone 4 nights a week at least until the mid Oct. It's not too bad though we do miss him. He is so good at balancing his time between the kids, school, and work. I couldn't ask for a better father for my kids! He's AMAZING!!!
As for me, well as usual I'm very busy. I don't think I know how to not be busy. :) I'm teaching the preschool that Kaitlyn and her friends are doing. It's so much fun. I really do enjoy it but it sure does take a lot of work....really makes me thankful for Marquis' preschool teacher and all the effort she made to make it such a wonderful experience! I get to visit with Mike's grandma once a week which is such a wonderful thing. My grandparents have all passed on so it's nice to have a grandma to talk to. She's such an amazing lady and a huge blessing for us to treasure and enjoy. The kids love spending time with her especially Kaitlyn.
So, there's our latest...maybe I'll get around to putting some pictures up. Overall, we are doing really well. I'm really enjoying the weather here just wish we could be closer to family...but we do have Mike's Grandma and Allison here! :)
