Quite a while…

Whoa, it really has been forever since I’ve posted…. It’s funny because I have started so many posts in my head, and never got around to writing them. Then I wanted to catch up on all the big events, and didn’t get past the boys’ birthday post. I will get that posted, even though it’s over 6 months late

The kids and I have been keeping quite busy. This fall Adisyn started preschool at Springfield Christian Preschool. She LOVES school, has an amazing teacher, and some very sweet friends. She is learning all her letters and numbers, she can write her name and many other words. Her favorite things to do are art/craft projects, playing with her My Little Ponies, reading, playing with her brothers and playing tea party. She has quite the imagination, and I love watching her play when she doesn’t realize I can see, or am listening to her. I can’t believe she will soon be 5 years old.

Tyrell and Terrence started kindergarten at Ridgeview Elementary this past fall. I had debated on whether I was going to homeschool them or send them to public school. Some situations can be so overwhelming that they just withdraw, and I was not sure how they would do in their classroom. They have been doing AMAZING!  They love school so much and are so excited to go every day. They love to learn! They both are learning to read, doing their math worksheets, and their vocabulary is constantly growing. Like Adisyn, they love to read. They love being read to, but they will also just sit and look/read books on their own. They know all of their letter sounds by site, and are learning how to string the word sounds together.

At the beginning of the year, both Tyrell and Terrence were behind in their fine motor skills. They would not hold a pencil correctly, and when cutting with scissors they would just make snips, and not know hold to move their hand along the paper as they went. They are now cutting like pros, and they have great handwriting. I just love seeing them sitting at the table doing their homework papers, and working on projects.

Just before Christmas, the boys had a little singing program at school. All of the kindergarten students were together on the stage while they sang many different songs that they have learned in music class. They have an excellent music program and the teacher works so well with the kids. Adisyn also had a Christmas program at her school. She even had her own line that she said, no shyness there!

I also went back to school last fall. I just have a few more classes until I apply for the nursing program next fall. It has been fun being back in school, but an adjustment as well. I have to be sure I am making time for studying. But I know it will be worth it. I’m looking forward to getting on to this next stage of my schooling. I couldn’t do it without the help and support of my family and friends! It makes it a lot easier knowing that the kids can be with my parents or close friends while I am at school or studying.

I will wrap up with a few pics of my sweet kiddos. And hopefully it won’t be another 8 months before I post again.
