Progressing...

The first week of school came and went. Whew, I'm glad that one's behind me. The kids did wonderful (as I knew they would but was still apprehensive about.) We are working (still) on getting additional language help but have had some progress in that area. The school board agreed to "bring some one in" (insert YEA's here) so now we only have to find someone who speaks the language to bring in. We are looking into the local colleges but, hey, progress is progress. Really, the kids are doing amazing with the work they have been given. On Colton's practice spelling test, he actually spelled 7 words correctly!! I was jumping with joy. They worked so hard, with "little" complaints, we tried to just enjoy the weekend.

Friday after I picked them up from school, we went to the park to have snacks and release some of our bottled up energy. I think I have forgot to mention that Aizley now has some rather cool glasses to help with her astigmatism. She looks so grown up with them on, don't you think?


Here they are enjoying the playground Castle.

So... school is going well and the kids really have worked on bonding with us. We have noticed the kids will pour themselves a drink or go to the bathroom without asking for permission. They will now voice their opinions about what they want to eat or watch on tv without saying "what you want" (meaning whatever you want to do/eat/watch). Small changes, but improvements non the less. They are becoming more true to their personalities as well. Colton is getting so affectionate now. He will run up to me and grab my arm and lead me around Wal Mart. Such a goofy guy. Aizley definately takes after her Papa with her stubborn attitude :)


But we're lovin' it!!!
