So many changes!

There have been so many changes in our lives over the last year.

Alayna will be 11... 11! It's so hard to believe. She's turning into such a smart beautiful young lady. We are so proud of her. She had eye surgery back in January to correct her lazy eye, but that was quick and easy and the recovery went very well. She'll be going into 4th grade in the fall.

Aiden is 8, and so amazingly brilliant! We decided to home school him this school year through the Washington Virtual Academy. He has FLOURISHED in this program! He started this year in second grade, doing a full second grade program. He was able to finish all of the second grade math in March, and started the third grade math program. He plans to start fourth grade math in the fall when he starts the rest of the third grade program. We'll be working on the third grade math program with both him and Alayna over the summer, as well as daily journaling and reading.

Brooklyn is 4 and is one of the most stubborn and independent people I've ever met. She's either a future world leader or dictator, LOL. She's been diagnosed with ADHD, and we're working on that. She's getting better though. We're hopeful that she'll start pre-school through Head Start in the fall.

Bella is 3 and is always trying to keep up with everyone else. She doesn't always like being the youngest and smallest. She's so much like her momma, small with a HUGE temper, LOL.

Joe is still working at Rent-a-Center, he's been promoted to credit manager and seems to like that better.

Me, well, I'm just being a momma. Taking care of the kids, attempting to keep the house in order, and just enjoying it all. I'm working on over coming some obnoxious knee problems that have been plaguing me since I was about 12. I finally have a diagnosis of Patella Femorial Pain Disorder, basically my knee caps grind against my femur, and let me tell you, it SUCKS.

That's pretty much it. We're going to be moving into a bigger place soon. Finally Miss Alayna gets her own room and her own space. She and I are coming up with great ideas on how to decorate it :) Her birthday party will be on Father's day weekend.
