Summer

There is no rest for the weary.  And I am weary.  :)

I have been on summer "break" for 2 weeks now.  I had 2 meetings at work already, and a full week of an Educational Leadership class for my Principal and Director of Instruction license.  Today I sat to down to finish some homework and have the rest of this week before kicking it in to summer school gear next week. 

Josh is going to a county camp program this summer 4 hours per day. It is wonderful to have some routine for him. They pick him up and drop him off at home.  He is also enjoying a new hobby of magnet fishing with his friends.  He gets to ride in the 4th of July parade with a friend of his - that will be fun. 

Chris is working at a golf course for the summer, so he gets some part time hours while he isn't driving school bus. 

We will be spending a few days up north in August and celebrating Josh's 11th birthday. 

Life doesn't slow down, does it?  My lazy days are few and far between.

worst blogger ever

Over 3 years since my last post - gosh!!  I can't promise to do better in the future...but here's an update...

in May of 2018, we moved to a beautiful new home in a small town just north of where we were living before.  This house is perfect for us, and we love our neighborhood.

Chris is still driving school bus and is looking for some seasonal work to keep him busy for the summer.  He enjoys being the "neighborhood dad" and loves having lots of kids over to play in the pool and in the basement, where he has sectioned off an area for Josh.  He has some good friends he likes to play video games with on the weekends.

I am still teaching 4th grade.  This fall I will be starting work on my principal and director of instruction licensure, in hopes of being out of the classroom in the next 5 years.  I love singing on the worship team at church, and have a few close friends I love to be with.  I also recently earned my red belt in karate.

Josh is in 4th grade and attends a charter school in Madison designed to help meet some of his unique needs.  We are so blessed to have a team of professionals working with us to help him be successful.
