Sweet Life in the City

I cannot post much because we have so much going on today, but I did want to post a few pictures and give a quick update on Sam's conference. The teacher is very pleased with Sam's progress. He is excelling in every subject and is great with the other kids in the class. He actually has met almost all the benchmarks required for the whole year. I was not worried about him academically but I did want to ask about how he was doing socially. He tends to be a little withdrawn when he is around a big group of kids. She said he plays well with others and is sought after from the other kids to play with them. She said he tends to be around the kids that are exploring or trying to figure things out rather then the kids that are running around and being rough. After the conference Sam and I went to lunch. Sam wanted to go to the Pleasant View Diner. They sell this delicious Fried Oreo Sundae, so he actually said he wanted to go to "the oreo place". Last night we had our youth g...

We are having a pretty good week. Monday and Tuesday the girls and I stayed home. I was going to get out Tuesday but it was rainy all day. We were out of almost everything and I was running serious low on diapers for Chloe. I was able to dig around the closet and find some diapers so I decided to wait and go to the store on Wednesday. Well I got a call Tuesday evening and was asked to sub 4th grade on Wednesday. So the girls and I got out today and went to the store. Emma went to school with me yesterday and Chloe went to Gran and Papa's house. I was kind of nervous about teaching 4th grade but it went great. It was weird because some of the kids in the 4th grade class were the same kids that I taught in Kindergarten. It was nice to see them and see how much they have grown. It was a nice day and it really makes me want to get back into teaching. Last night we went to church for the final night of revival and then came home and got the kids to bed. As I said the girls and I went to...

We are home and trying to settle back into the routine of things. We got back Friday night and then spent the day Saturday cleaning and getting all the laundry done. We are starting Life Groups at our church so we were having our first meeting Saturday night at our house. I had to get Molly from the vet Saturday morning and then came home and cleaned like a crazy lady. Yesterday was church and then Jeremy spent the day working on some school work. The kids and I came home and rested and then headed back out for choir practice and church. We are having revival this week and I am hoping to go each night but I need to see how Sam is after he gets home from school. It was back to school for the boys today and Sam was a bear this morning trying to get him up and out the door. The girls and I have just stayed home today and relaxed a little. Well here are some pictures from yesterday.

OK so I know I just posted that I would be posting these pictures tomorrow but I decided to post them while I had faster internet connection. I had so many pictures to chose from this sight at the museum but I refrained from posting them all. This was the kids favorite place at the museum. I asked Chloe to smile and this is what she did. This is classic Chloe.

We have had a great week here at my parent's house but it is time for us to go back home. We are all packing up and will be leaving in an hour or so. I have posted several pictures from the museum but I have a lot more I am going to post. I will post the rest tomorrow.
