Busy!

Whew! The summer got off to a crazy, busy start, but I feel like I can finally sit down and catch my breath. We moved at the beginning of June, and it's been crazy trying to get settled in and everything out of boxes. To make it even MORE hectic, we did not sell our old house, but kept it as a rental property. So now we have two houses to take care of, which sounds so intimidating! Luckily, we have some renters that we think will be great for the house, and we get to make some money on it, which is also nice.

Summer so far has flown by. I went to several workshops at the beginning of June for the upcoming school year. I have a feeling that the fall of 2010 will be even more crazy as I try to find my groove as a first-year teacher. I am also still working on my masters to defer my student loans a bit longer. I can't wait to be DONE with school.

Emma is switching from Oakwood Manor to Gashland Elementary, so there are changes in store for her this fall, too. She seems excited to be going to a new school, and I know that she'll make friends quickly based on how social she is. I hope that her new school will be as good for her as Oakwood Manor has been. She learned so much in her nine months in kindergarten, so I hope that it continues!!

We've all spent the summer hanging out with friends, going to the pool, and doing tons of other fun things. I love having the summers off with my kids!! It's great to have Emma's school schedule.

We are also working with Logan on potty-training. It's been an adventure! He's done well with it so far, and it would be great to have him fully trained before the fall. I'm not sure how that will go, though! His vocabulary is booming and he is learning more and more each day.

As for Matt, he is back in school to work on his degree. He is thinking of going in to nursing, which would be a great career for him!!
