Life is Good!

Well, I have to say, life is good but busy! As many of you know, I have recently gone back to school for my Master's Degree. It has really kept me busy. I have already finished one class. Only 11 more to go! Right now I am researching and writing a paper about homework and does it really increase academic achievement. I will tell you that the research I have found so far does not support homework. I will let you know the results and my opinion when I finish! It is actually pretty interesting stuff.

Well. Abby is finally in the routine of going to preschool. She loves it! She has come home and talked about her friend Chloe, her teacher Mrs. Sandi, and has shared the songs she has learned. If you ask her, she will sing Little Bunny Foo Foo for you. It's quite cute! On Wednesdays, I have staff meetings so she has been hanging out with her cousin Emma after school. Last week she played on the playground, drew pictures, and played on the computer. She has a lot of fun...she is very lucky to have such a big family!

I wanted to share some pictures of my dads dog Dusty. She has been an important part of our family for many, many years. She is getting old and her body is conking out on her but her mind is still strong! She is the best dog a person could ask for. Isn't she cute in her wheelchair. :)

I sure do miss Annabelle but I have to say, it gets better everyday! I will have days where I do great and then other days when everything reminds me of her and I get sad. But overall, I am doing great. I talked to the adoption worker and told her I was ready for another baby. I told her that I would love to have a boy (because it is so different from Annabelle) but I will take a girl if that is what God chooses for me. Please keep me in your prayers. I look forward to starting the next journey in motherhood. Let's just hope the situation ends a little differently! Although, if I had to lose Annabelle, I couldn't have asked for a better situation! She is with a great family and I get to see pictures of her everyday! I feel like my life is very blessed!

Abby at preschool!

Well, I dropped Abby off at preschool today for her very first day. Monday was the orientation so I did not leave her there so today is her actual first day. She walked right in, said "goodbye mom" and sat down and put a puzzle together. I can't believe she is at school! She is growing up so fast.

Abby Started Preschool!



It's official...I have a preschooler! Abby started preschool yesterday at Fox Hollow. She did super great! She went straight to the kitchen and baby dolls. She was not shy at all. Abby will be going to school on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. I am very excited. Abby has always been the princess at home so I am hoping that being at school will show Abby that it is NOT all about her! Much to her dismay :)
