I finally achieved my master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies. Now I'm studying for my national certification exam and looking for a job.
Julia has been loving her class this year. She has show-and-tell every Friday in which she brings something that begins with a selected letter of the alphabet. They are counting down 100 days of school and on day 100 they will have a pajama party. They have already had an 80's dance party. Her teacher was really impressed with her when she gave an impromptu performance of the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme song. I'm teaching my girls all the best things from the 80's and 90's.
Amelia's class seems to be in a constant state of transition. They have had three lead teachers and at least two afternoon teachers since August. All that change has been hard on the kiddos. Fortunately, her newest lead teacher is excellent. She has years of experience and is no-nonsense. Just what a class full of little girls needs to quelch some of the drama. Her Christmas party was tons of fun with decorating sugar cones like Christmas trees, tossing bean bags through a wreath, and balancing Hershey Kisses on spoons across the room and then placing them in a stocking.
We sold our first house and are now living with my parents while we build our dream house. We signed the build contract two months ago and already had all of our interior and exterior selections made. So far they have managed to uproot the two trees in the backyard, but one of the stumps is still lying there. I was hoping the framing would be complete by the time the cold weather hit, but it seems that there are a lot of houses in progress with our building company. We were hoping to be in the new house by March, but it looks like it will be more like April or May. Praise the Lord my parents have built before and are reasonably understanding about the whole situation.
This is our lot before the trees came down
