So it's been while since my last post and I have to say that this school year is going so smooth and wonderful. Willow just got her first report card and has straight A's. She has such a wonderful and supportive team of teachers and staff at her school. I have been learning as much as I can about Diabetes and how to manage her condition the best I can. Luckily there I have a "family of cyberfriends" at childrenwithdiabetes who are super knowledgeable and have helped me really understand some of the nuances of this disease.
Other than the diabetes side of my life - I have been busy with teaching preschool 2 days a week, and carting kids around for Dance and Brownies! Ava turned 5 on Sept 29th. She got a new bike (among other things) - since we ran over her other one last fall. It was lying down in the garage and well . . .Mark backs in when he comes home . . the bike never had a chance! We celebrated by going down to my in-laws and the girls got to ride the horses. Ava is not quite as confident on the horses as Willow - but she did enjoy herself. Willow finished up her first season of cheering. She says next year she wants to do competition . . .we'll see. Haleigh started preschool this year - she loves it! She loves that I am next door with the 2 year olds and I love that she is not with me for a few hours! The girls went shopping with grandma and picked out their costumes for Halloween. Willow is an American Idol/Hannah Montana rock star, Ava is Wonder Woman, and Haleigh latched onto this Beaver costume - it is really cute! We trick-or treated last night (for some reason Charleston, will not to T or T on Fridays. I guess because of the all the craziness of teenagers! Our home is now officially overflowing with chocolate and candy! This is by far my favorite time of year as the weather gets chilly and the colors start to change. We are in full color here and I am loving the crisp cool mornings where I can sit outside with a cup of coffee and watch my breath! (well for a moment until I have to wake up kiddos and get them ready for school!)
I am gearing up for election day next week . . .and then on to the holidays!
