Home & School

Today was a great day.  The boys had a blast at school and progress was definitely happening for me.  I headed to the school for After School Care.  I got there a little early, mainly because I am leaving a little early.  I wish I could work and go to the meeting the extra money would really be nice.  Anyway.  The boys and I left at 5:00 to go grab something to eat and then head back to the school. 
This Home & School meeting we go to the classrooms and walk a day in our children's shoes, but we do their 7 hour day in just under an hour.  It is fun and always nice to get to know the parents a little better.  It is hard when they both want both of us in their rooms.  So we started with John Michael's and then went to Danny's.
While we were looking at the art work and the reasons that the first graders are strong in faith we came across John Michael's and just smiled, actually we laughed.  He is a pretty cool guy and eveidentally he wanted to write about Superheroes and the fact that he was one and this is what he decided to do since his first one was too long! 

The last summer day for 2012

Well, today started early with a photoshoot at Aldridge Gardens.  It was a great session with an adorable 1 year old little boy.  Watch the blog at www.monicaannephotography.com for more on this session.  I have to get that caught up, I will make it one of my many goals.  Before we left the gardens I took advantage of having the boys there and got a few pictures.  They were not dressed up but it was fun to document the last day of summer.

We headed to the Network after the photo shoot and ended up having lunch with Brandon.  It was nice sitting outside for lunch with the family.

Then we headed to the school.  I had to get an application filled out so that I can start work!  It was a seven page application, and I felt like a fool it has been so long since I filled one out.  Again I am so thankful for this opportunity, it is definitely an answer to many many prayers.  I also talked to Debbie again and it looks like I will start tomorrow with the boys. 

The boys had their open house at the school today so after I finished my application we headed in to turn it in and to go say hello to the teachers, see their seats, and get their supplies in order!  I cannot believe that they are going to be 1st and 4th graders tomorrow.  WOW!  Time flies, of course we will have to make sure we have enough time in the morning to make our pictures.  The first day pictures are always important. 

We came home and I cooked dinner, and after we all sat down to eat Brandon and I took the boys swimming for about 45 minutes.  I managed a few laps, but it was cold!!!

Well, we are all headed to bed now.  Tomorrow is going to be a big day.  I am so excited and I know that they are too!  Today was so great, and such a fun ending to summer, I do wish that we had a little more time though.  I love my time with the boys.

Open House

Well today was definitely better than yesterday on the health meter. Thank goodness, another day and I would have been more apt to head to the doctor quite possibly the ER. I can handle a cold, what I cannot stand is my asthma feeling so out of control.

John Michael had soccer practice after school today. His coach has moved it up till 3:30, which works for me, it saves 30 minutes of me trying to kill time. He is loving it and I am glad. Of course Danny wants to play now, but we are going to wait until next year.

Tonight was my favorite Home and School meeting of the year. Well, I like them all but this one really is a lot of fun as we get to know more about our children's teachers and their schedules. John Michael had left me the sweetest poem in his room. Nothing like crying right off. Danny left me an awesome letter in computer. Again bringing the tears. My boys really are amazing.

Well, I am going to be yet another day behind. Mainly because my camera is downstairs and I am just too tired to go get it. I will upload and get caught up in the morning and will stay that way for tomorrow night. Then I will be able to start September off on the right foot.

Know that you are all in my prayers. To Josie....Happy Happy First Birthday Sweet Girl!!!
