This week I finish my second official class since I started back to school a couple months ago and begin my third. As much as I do not want to rush time because that means my babies are growing up, I am hoping school passes quickly for me and I still find time to manage everything.
We had some family photos taken by Kara and they look good. I will post a few when she edits them, if I can restrain myself. I've already used a few to order cards....I just get so excited. The holidays are coming upon us and I have asked the kids for lists. Ginny no longer believes in Santa and was very conservative with her list, Aubree still believes in Santa but has a relatively inexpensive list as well. It makes me smile because I feel my girls are making wise decisions and not getting too caught up in the name brand of things. Now, I know they are only 9 and 7 but I feel we are on the right track.
Here is a cute story, one of our neighbors homes had a small fire this past week. So, we took the opportunity to review our little emergency plan. As we were talking about it and encouraging the kids to get out the window if needed and shove the boys (only if they are in they same room), Ginny says "I will go last because I have had the longest life and if someone has to die, I'd rather it be me.". How sweet is that? I am bet you are guessing that yes, I teared up. She id pure.
This past week has brought pleasant things. I went for Aubree's neuro-psychology report and she does not show active signs of autism. I was overjoyed. Her IQ was in the "highly superior" level and they psychiatrist recommended that I try to get her in a gifted program. I am very blessed with smart kids. That same day, we received an offer on the rental home. I feel that I had two big, great things occur that day. I know my Heavenly Father blesses me tremendously and I have felt His love very strong this week.
