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

I'm glad you're back! Happy birthday!
Welcome back! Sunshine turned 8 too, maybe they have the same b-day!
Glad to hear everything is going well :) And yay for finding an internet connection - I go crazy whenever my internet goes down.
I'm glad you're back, too. Glad everything is going well. I'm so glad to hear that 9K is doing well in school. I know it's because you've given him so much of your attention. Good for you!
Hope the surprise party was a blast and that your parents really get on board with all of you. It helps so much to have family that really participates with you!
It is really tough to remember how you originally learned how to do things you do without thinking now, like read or math. Then to try to teach it to a kid that hasn't figured it out yet, I am living the same issue right now.
So congrats on the breakthrough! I hope they continue!
