Hear Ye Hear Ye

Thank you sweet baby Jesus for finally letting me find Internet connection. We moved into a new place and the only place we could get Internet was sitting on the patio. It's cold outside. So therefore I have not been online. C found that if you set the laptop on our headboard (it's one of those long flat ones) there is Internet! yaaay!

Okay. Lots and Lots to update on.

First off, I start school today *eeeh nervous!* And I'm sad because the only classes I could get into were night classes. So Tues, Wed and Thurs night I won't be home. :( But...I'm finally back in school.

Second, 7K has upgraded to 8K since she had a birthday a few weeks ago :)

Third, 9K has been doing FANTASTIC. I repeat FANTASTIC.
Email from his teacher:
"... have noticed an improvement with 9K last week and the few days so far this week. His behavior is still a concern but his participation and effort have been better. He has been working on his multiplication tables with K and I see the improvement. He has a good understanding of division so far..."

Yeah behavior is difficult but as far as school work goes? He is DOING it. On his own! Then showing it to us! Last week we didn't have one melt down or fight about homework. He is understanding it, comprehending it, and above all, enjoying completing it! yaaay!

Also we started reading the Spiderwick series just him and I every night. We read one chapter a night and since there are 7 chapters in each book we get it done really quickly. We just finished the first book, and he is SO into it! It's so great to see him excited about reading. He can't wait to read more. He loves that the twin boys are his age and that the sister says "crap" (we told him its an older kids book so she can say that) hehehe...LOVING IT!

C and I both had birthdays...he threw me a surprise party, and it was soo much fun. I've never had one before. I love that man.

Other news: Our wedding date has been pushed back. My parents actually decided they wanted to get to know C and the kids and asked if they could have a little more time to become involved in our lives and we discussed it together and chose to acquiesce. My parents and brother and sister mean the world to me and I couldn't imagine not having them involved in my life just because I refused to move my wedding date. :) New date: 12-06-08

Well I hope everyone has been well, I will be updating regularly again since I found connection!!

Happily yours,
K

One huge birthday party

Wow, so that was fun. I had some crazy chest/breathing thing, got better for 3 days, then got a horrible stomach virus. Yippie. :P

I am human again tho. Luckily. Oh and nothing like a good stomach virus to lose those few Christmas pounds! Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Very sweet. :)

Most exciting thing from Christmas: My gift. Yeah, yeah, watching the kids open stuff was cool, but that selfish side of me kicks in and woo-wee I love gifts.

So my major complaint in life (and I'm sure it lurks in the back of y'alls minds too) is that I don't get first anything. Not the first marriage, not the first kid, not even the first boy or girl. Nada. I must whine about it more than I thought I did, that or C knows how much it really does bother me, because he got me this beautiful silver photo album from Things Remembered and on it he had them engrave, "Our Life of Firsts Starts Here" :) Soo sweet. I swear he is the most thoughtful, and loving man I could ever want.

New mission: Take lots of pictures :) He even said he will be a willing participant, and Lord knows C hates pictures!

7K's birthday is Saturday, then mine is next Friday, the 11'th then C's is the 21'st. A whole slew of birthdays! C still gives me crap for forgetting his birthday last year.... We were barely friends! Haha...now I can't forget it. 10 years, 10 days :) His Jan 21st 1975, Mine Jan 11 1985. Awwwww....we should just have one huge birthday party...
