Wow it’s really hard to believe I have a fourth grader, a first grader, and a pre-k kid! Now it’s just me and Lincoln in a quiet house during the morning hours. Luckily Nevaeh only goes for a few hours in the morning. I’m far from bored…I have plenty of work to keep me busy [...]

Well I’m having very little computer time because unfortunately my laptop is acting up and my hubby is still trying to diagnose the problem so we can get it fixed. I have to steal moments on his PC when I can so I may be sparse, we’ll see.

I had parent teacher conferences for both Sanura and Adrian this morning. It went really exactly as I had expected.
Sanura is a very smart girl so I didn’t anticipate that she would have any problems academically. She did well in all subjects. They had a difficult social studies unit, most of the kids in the [...]
