Back to In-Person 5 days a Week School!!

-


Since it's been a ROUGH 18+ months with minimal schooling...we are THRILLED that we get to be back for 5 FULL DAYS (with masks). Colin is in 1st Grade with Mrs. Genin, Carrie is in 3rd Grade with Mrs. Borchardt and Charlie is in 6th grade with a variety of teachers.

I am at 2 schools-Sugar Creek (my classroom below) and Glacier Edge. I am part time. 

Overall, it has been a smooth transition to a new normal. I constantly tell my kids HOW IMPORTANT school is. I hope they understand this as they grow. It took me awhile; I think it takes everyone awhile. But it's clear to see that education can give you any advantage you want when you are an adult. 

Work hard children, grow those beautiful brains. Your Mom and Dad love you greatly and can't wait to see how YOU will change this world and what kind of life you create for yourself.

Pro-Life or Not?

I am reading this great book by Shane Claiborne called "The Irresistible Revolution." The author is a Christian, but he is the type of Christian that Jesus was, not the type of Christian that we perceive ourselves to be. When he tries to live like Jesus, he really does. He is ALL about ending poverty in this nation, about feeding people, making wealth more "communal" (oh man would the Republicans HATE that!), and living like Jesus did. I certainly do not live like Jesus. I rarely communicate with the poor, the low in life's, the sick and diseased. I am not proud of myself for that. This book puts a new spin on Christianity and while most of our "churches" attest to following Jesus, it is certainly hard for them to "follow" Jesus on a 3-4 million dollar/year budget. Just saying... With that said, he has an AMAZING quote on pro-life. I "am" pro-life, but I have always stated that I am pro-life in every sense of the word. Anti-war, p...

My first born is officially four! I can hardly believe it! What an amazing journey it has been and I thought I would share a few things about him. Height: 40.5" (54 percentile) Weight: 33 lbs (20th percentile) BMI: below the 7th percentile. So he is tall-ish and skinny...a good way to be!! Eating: He eats a fairly healthy diet. He obviously strongly desires desserts at all time. He will get through dinner, just so a dessert can occur! Ha. I think he has my sweet tooth. Right now he is in love with cashews, raisins, granola bars, and broccoli. And desserts! He often makes dinner a seemingly long battle, in which he is the only one left at the table. I am sure we will work through this behavior as well. Sleeping: No more naps, but takes 1 1/2 hours of quiet time in the basement playing by himself. He then sleeps from about 8pm until 8am. Just recently, he has been going all night without a wet diaper. So, we are officially night trained as well. It is kinda cute how he...
