So the blog falls by the wayside, sorry. I found it was a bit easier to post a bit on facebook. But was recently reminded my blog is better (thank you Sister & Debbie). I guess I have been avoiding it as it seems it would be to much to catch up on. So I decided I will do one post for the past and try to remember how important it is in the future.
So I think the last thing was the Aunt Julie in July, which seem so long ago. In August Mom went to Michigan to visit, we all stayed behind and got ready for school and enjoyed the rest of the summer. We went to Conneticut for Scott's employee picnic we passed through New York and on a clear day we may have seen the statue of liberty. Scott and the girls did tubing Tuesdays at the Wildlife Reserve down the road, Scott went once and swore he would never go again, but the girls went a few times it was fun to actually ride a ways in river that runs behind our house.
September we started school with Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School, an online public school. We had tons of great field trip opportunities, the girls loved the laptops they were loaned and the curriculum kept us very very busy.
In October Dad and Barb visited on their way out of the country to Italy. We had so much fun showing them around we went to Hershey Park again (you really can never get enough frankly) we did the chocolate tasting this time, the tour and the 3-D movie, which is a little crazy interactive. We also took them to our Farmers Market which has great selection of anything you could imagine. It was so nice to see familiar faces.
In November we traveled to Colorado for Thanksgiving. Wow 33 hours there and 26 hours back was enough car to last anyone awhile. We had a great time visiting friends and family of course there wasn't as much time as we wanted. I can't tell you how strange it is to not be at home for a holiday, even in years past if we went somewhere we would end back at home but it was different going to a hotel room after that Thanksgiving meal. Mom and the kids and I drove out and Scott and the kids and I drove back so as you can see Scott wasn't stopping for nothin' and everyone was sick and we just wanted to get home.
December was a little more difficult than I would hope we were all home sick and were having a hard go at holidays with out the craziness that usually surrounds it. We also made a tough decision and enrolled the kids in public school. We had heard great things about the school district so when we checked it out and felt pretty good about the schools it was just time. I think with all of the changes we have incurred in the past year it was just a better choice for right now, who knows what the future will hold. We had high hopes of going to New York to see the holiday decor but the couple times we tried it just wasn't in the cards, maybe next year.
Ah and here we sit in January, wow I caught up fast. The girls started public school they both take buses which is so exciting for them (I'm sure this will wear off soon). I think Faith was most excited about the smorgasbord she could choose from for lunch more than anything. Hope was excited about the kids she was going to play with even though she was out numbered with her being 1 of 2 girls in a class of 12. They really are enjoying it and learning which is what matters. Our little Levi has started walking and really expressing himself. Just today the dog stole his cookie(which happens frequently) and turned around and swatted her. It is just amazing how fast they grow, I have taken such joy in really watching him grow into a little boy. Well we had a mishap today and I was a in a car accident, yes with the new van. My fault completely and all I can say is the Tom Tom lady said "to turn left" she did not say to look you are on a one way street there could be someone next to you. So thank goodness no one was hurt due to my ignorance, the kids weren't with me and I have insurance. So there you have an up to date some what blog. I will do my darnedest to update this and please feel free to nag.
