Ok, so it's been about two years since I last posted... but rather than make up for lost time, I'll just start over again. But let me catch you up:
We moved! We now live in a much bigger home where we can stretch out and fit all of our crap. We have a nice backyard and room for all of our family and friends to visit. We're also closer to all of our parents, which is so nice.
Cameron's in first grade. He is an amazing reader and loves to read Pokemon books. His drawings are full of detail and so thoughtful, but he only does them when he's asked to. His favorite thing is hanging with friends and he has a bunch of them. He's still a mama's boy and love cuddling with me :) I will never get tired of that! He plays soccer, takes swim lessons, is in cub scouts, and will soon be joining the Math Pentathlon and Destination Imagination groups at school. He has a great time at all of these social events, but at the end of the day he's a homebody and would prefer to be playing at home. Speaking of which, he would play games all day every day if we let him. He just received a few new games for his 6th birthday, which we celebrated by having a family 'Minute to Win it' game night. Cameron continues to be sweet, thoughtful, kind, conscientious, energetic, friendly, and always smiling.
Mackenzie has started the fourth grade this year! Boy how time flies. She is an avid reader and always has a book nearby (sometimes two or three!). Her new school has been a perfect fit for her, as she already has more than one close friend. And, they TEXT each other! There are numerous opportunities to be involved at the new school, and she is taking them all on! She takes swim lessons, but also participates in girl scouts, Destination Imagination, and Battle of the Books. We're still waiting to find out about student council, classroom officer, and math pentathlon. She is very into fashion and likes to always look her best. While growing her hair out, she has recently taught her self to style it with clips, ponytail holders, and even braids! Mackenzie still likes to play with her toys (like her American Girls and Barbies), but is starting to prefer 'hanging out' to playing with toys when friends are around. She is insightful, funny (the one liners she's been coming up with are priceless!), sweet, creative, and a great companion on any outing.
I am a lucky momma.
As for Jason and I, there's not too much to report. We've recently celebrated our ten year anniversary, and although our relationship has changed and evolved a lot in the past ten years, we're still a happily married couple who really like to spend time with each other. I've been substitute teaching, and the extra paycheck, not to mention getting myself back into a classroom, has been really nice. I've put my Master's classes on hold until we're totally settled into our new house and our new lives (a lot changes when you move across town!).
So, I'm thinking I'll use this blog as a way to document my children and their lives, my gardening adventures (ok gardening is not really an adventure, but I like doing it and writing about it!), and maybe throw in a few teaching ideas/resources/strategies for all of my fellow substitute teachers. And that's where I'll leave off. Let's see if remember to come back... :)
