Sooooooooooooooooo its been over 3 months and I have no idea how things got so hectic SO quickly.
Before PreK started, there were play dates and scrimping to get all the fees handled and I worked on my resume to get back out there and find an on-site teaching gig. Then once school started, there were school events and just getting adjusted to it all. Once we were adjusted, I got a mid semester gig teaching an accelerated course at the local JC. It is taught in half the semester, so it begins half way through the regular semester. Comp I is familiar territory so its been going well!
NOW I'm finally getting settled into juggling my two online courses, the on site course, and Elena and her various comings and goings and I am starting to do research into next year's plan. Kinder will be here before we know it!
Since I was so lost in the process last year, I figured I would get a jump on things. Josh attended a school fair after I did some research and now we have narrowed it down to five or six possibilities.
I was going to keep her where she is for Kinder, and still may, but because it is hard to get into the private schools it might be better to start trying now instead of later. The school she is attending now only goes up to Kinder so switching her sooner rather than later means she will be establishing her friends and routines in the place she'll likely stay for a longer period of time(since most go to 6th or 8th grade).
I have tours set up in the coming week and look forward to applying a couple of places and seeing what is in the cards for us! Since we rent, I don't want to start her in public and have that be effected by any moves we end up doing in the next couple of years.
And Emilia is getting baptized in a couple of weeks, right after Thanksgiving. THANKSGIVING! Insane that its "that" part of the year already! Then Christmas. And begin again in January. IN. Sane.
Lena is gonna be 5 this coming January too! It never ends, huh? :) There will be a birthday party to figure out. Not especially looking forward to taking that on given her new expanded circle of friends, but I'm sure we'll figure out something economical and fun! :)
That is the update from us! BUSY BUSY BUSY and having fun with the kiddos too. We are blessed because we all have our health and the kids are growing and thriving!
More to come soon!
MISS YOU GUYS! ;)
