Hello Everyone! Thank you for visiting my site. I didn't realize it had been so long since I last updated my site. Life sure moves fast. The kids started school today. It rained ALL day. Zachary has the same teacher. He looped with the kids. That means he moved up with them and is now their 3rd grade teacher. From the research I have done at school it is a great program and more teachers should loop with their students. Less time getting to know you and they can start right away. Michaela got the teacher I requested. Like the school had a choice. LOL I have started another class and this one is killer. It is research methods. Lots of Math, yuck. But as the saying goes I will Survive. So, when are people going to visit? My friend Melissa has already purchased plane tickets and will be here the first week of November. We are excited to have her visit. Not only do I have school but I am the soccer coach for both Zachary and Michaela. Of course no one would step up so I took them both. Hopefully we can practice tomorrow as it is still raining. Michael is doing well. He will go to Russia for a training exercise. I hope you enjoy the pictures. They took forever to down load!! Write when you can and try and visit. We are only suppose to be here 2 more years!! Hugs to everyone! Mini
