Welcome to our journey as a family, who have no biological relation to each other, but who seek to follow God's will together.

Back to School!


ImageHere we go back to school! First day we were up and ready to go.  Second day we were very late, lol.  We have two days under our belts and we are enjoying getting back into the routine of things.  I can not believe it my T-Monster is in 1st grade.  Lord help his teacher, hee hee.   Check out those feet, size 3 mind you. 



ImageChunk-A is off to four day a week half day preschool.  He needs the extra time and I need the break.  He is just right across the hall from my room and can stick his head in my room when he is going to the bathroom. I am only working two days right now, so he is getting use to me not being there.   He is really enjoying it and I am proud to have such another big boy.          


ImageThe WONDERFUL two year old teacher both T and Chunk both had has left the preschool program for another position, one she had wanted for several years.  While I am happy her prayers have been answered, I am heart broken that she will no longer be around and sad for Little Stray that he did not get benefit from her awesomeness.  However her position is being filled by Little Strays teacher from last year, so I know he is in wonderful hands and I will not worry about him at all.  I know that she will do a fabulous job.  Do you see the new lunch box Little Stray is holding?  Well it lasted all of two days to preschool, then it had it's handle torn off.  How?  Not sure looked like it was involved in a tug of war, got to love Koh*s, they exchanged it with no receipt or tag or nothing, my kind of place.  So now he has a red one, we will see how long it will last.

Summer In Review!

Image
 Now that the summer is almost over, only two more weeks of fun then back to school and work we will go.  So here is a recap of what we have been up to this summer! 

First week the older two went to the Iitty Bitty Sports camp the local Y put on.  It was near the house and boy did they have fun.  So worth the monies.  Here they are with their medal and certificates.  Defiantly will do again next year!!                                                                   


ImageThe next week was VBS!  I taught the going to K kids again and we had great turn out. I had 20-25 kids each day!  The boys loved the Ranch theme, T-monster insisted on wearing boots that were at least 1.5 sizes to small.  Boy when his feet got sweaty it was hard to get them off, not to mention the smell, yuck! 
Image                                                                            In July Computer Geek and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary.  I can not believe it has been 10 years!! We went away by ourselves for a whole week.  We farmed out each of the children to different families, it took 7 families to look after our four children for one week.  (I  will give you a guess as to which one had the hardest time).  Anyway we had a great time, reminded me of the times before children, quiet sleeping in, hiking, sight seeing, reading books (four to be exact) eating my meals without little fingers in my plate or all over me.  I managed to get 18 pages in my scrapbook done and spend quality time with my hubby.  I would like to say I missed my kiddos and could not wait to get back to them, but I have four young children, the break was nice and I did miss them, just not the stress of them.  Thank you to all of the families who helped make it a possibility. 


ImageFirst weekend back from our adult vacation, Computer Geek took the two little boys to see a certain train guy that they are crazy about. They are still talking about it.  Little Stray keeps saying he want "mommy do it" as in he wants mommy to take him on the train.                                                                                                       
My friend had a birthday for her son where she had the same train come as we did at Little Stray's birthday and this time Little Stray ran right to the train and hopped on, still had the death grip on the handles, but could not get enough of the ride.  If you do not remember here is his party http://notbiologicallyrelated.blogspot.com/2010/05/party.html
