So in a few weeks I will have officially ended my first year of teaching. It has been an amazing year with lots of ups and downs. I have managed to teach, begin my 2nd master's degree program, take care of my girls and deal with Chris being deployed to Iraq for the 3rd time. Next year I tackle an entire new being with being in kindergarten. And I really can't wait for Chris to come back to the states this summer. This year has flown by and me working has truly helped that happen. If I had been at home I can't imagine how long and boring it would have been for me.
Meadow is on medication now for her ADHD and so far it hasn't made a difference. But it will take time to get situated in her body. Whytney has a really huge soccer camp she's going to in June that lasts all day for a week. Lizzie is just going to enjoy the summer too. I signed the kids up for the free bowling thing they have here, which is totally awesome. They get to bowl 2 games per day for free all summer long. I think that is just fantastic. And I paid for the adult one that is only 25 dollars so that I get the same deal as them! And they have free movie days here during the summer too so I really can't wait to take the kids and actually be able to do things with them this summer. And that it will be cost effective makes it even better.
I have already made tentative plans for Whytney's christmas present. I haven't talked to Chris about it and it is going to be really expensive but I think she would love it. I want to get her a quad. We live in the country and she loves them a lot so why not let her have her own? Plus if it gets her outside more then why not?
Not sure what to buy Meadow yet, but I will think about it. We limit the girls to three presents since that is what Jesus got so I just have to figure out what to get her. I just want to start early so I know what I'm looking at.
