catching up again...

well, the last few weeks/months my computer has been giving me some issues with down loading pictures...I really did want to update sooner. Since most everyone has Facebook, I will spare ya'll the same old pictures, and will try to be better at blogging in the future.

The boys have been doing really well in school so far. Jake had been struggling in reading and math last year. But, at conferences we found out Jake has been moved to an advanced math class and his reading level is almost 6th grade (he's in 4th)! It's kinda funny, last year I would get notes from the teacher that Jake was always busy visiting (hmmmm, wonder where he gets that from?). Now, I get notes that he's quiet with his nose stuck in a book. I told him he needs to pay attention, but even the teacher said if that's his only "problem", it's not a "bad" one to have! Now Josh is the one struggling a bit with reading . They had to put him in a tutoring program, which he really enjoys. I can see progress already...he is working so hard! His teacher says he's a polite and helpful little boy, and loves having him in class. I'm so proud of both of them. It's just so amazing watching them learn and grow.

Jenna has been having fun with P.A.T. We have been going to playgroups, and just recently started going to a (Pre)Pre-K class. She loves playing with all the other kids and learning new things. Ms. Joelle came for a home visit last week and said Jenna was right on track...smart little gal. She has an incredible vocabulary and good language skills, however she was a bit concerned about her articulation. We have gone for some further testing, and Jenna qualified for Pre-K classes. We haven't found out yet where she will be placed.

That's going to be a bit tough for me...it was one thing for Joshy to start school, but Jenna too! WOW! What am I going to do with myself? Granted it's only half days for both, and Jenna will only be going 2-3 days a week. But, that's my last baby!!! I'm happy they are going to be able to help her out and I'm so grateful that my kids are getting a good education. I had heard so many bad things about Haysville, and who knows that may become an issue again when they are older. For now though....we are very impressed!

Last, but not least...Wonderdog has finally gotten his pins out, his little leg is healed. It has been a LONG 9 weeks. He is a whole different pup now that he can run and jump again!

Needless to say, my little crew keeps me quiet busy most days....I wouldn't have it any other way!
