It's been a while....

Abby and Jack have gotten quite a bit bigger since my last entry. My life has gotten a whole lot more hectic as well. After much reflection, I have come to the conclusion if I wait for the right time to go back to school, I will never make it back. So I took the plunge and headed back at the beginning of 2010. I am at Augsburg and am loving it there. I have decided to change my focus a bit to Elementary Education, but I will still be keeping pre-primary as my focus.

Abby is now in 1st grade, she loves girl scouts and theater. Girl Scouts is something her and I share together. I started the first troop our neighborhood has seen in quite a while. This is something our neighbors are very excited about, or so they say, when they see us walking down the street with a wagon full of girl scout cookies in tow. I am not exactly sure where Abby gets her love of theater, but she has definitely taken to the stage. She will be preforming in her second play of the year on Wednesday, The little Red Hen, where Abby will be playing the part of the Cow. How her teacher manages to pull off these sweet little productions with a group of 1st - 5th graders is beyond me!

The little brother isn't so little anymore. Jack turned 3 a couple of months ago and is now going to preschool a couple days a week at the same school Abby goes to. This is a pretty big deal to him, because now he goes to "school" too and its even the same school as his sister! Other than preschool Jack is loving staying home with me and loves that I provide childcare to 4 other kids that he is convinced are here just to play with him. The other kiddos have become such a part of our daily norm that he blames them for messes on the weekends when no one is around but my two.

I thought I would add this goofy video as well. Jack and Abby have been spending the Saturday mornings that I have class with Nana and Papa. To Jack, the second best thing about Nana and Papa's is Cheese-balls! First is Auntie Beth.
