There will be no stopping for this family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything we went through was well worth it. Lauren is doing great in her new environment. She is happy EVERYDAY. We have met with her "team", psychologist, speech therapist, guidance councilor, principal, reading specialist, teacher, and the two of us in one room to see what we can do!! We made a thirty day goal to increase Lauren's fluency!! She was practicing her first set of spelling words and knew how to spell them, in the middle of spelling her first word she realized she knew it and smiled ear to ear, and I did the same and said Say it, you know it and then she did the whole list. But with every good there is illness!!!!! Yes, of course Lauren went to the doctor on Friday and could not go to school because of a double ear infection and congestion!! Meds did there job and she is on the mend.
Hannah, escaped illness(no shock there)she is doing wonderful in school, her teacher said she is very bright and helpful and is a pleasure to have! I'll share a story that her teacher shared with us. They were studying the color red all week and Mrs. Recchia asked if anyone could spell the color red and of course Hannah raised her hand and said "R-E-D!!" and Mrs. Recchia said "Very Good how did you know that?" and Hannah Responded "It's right there on the Board Mrs. Recchia!" and that is our Hannah!! She has yet to wear pants and am not sure she ever will!!
Brandon, he is going through terrible two's a little late!! But still manages to stay sweet in between tantrums!! We met with his new babysitter for this year. He will start with a half day on Monday, and then full days, on Monday only. Not too far from school, but I am already living in the car!!! Come Jan. he will be there five days a week.
Jonathan, finally has his groove with is new position!! He was at a conference all day yesterday and open house last night and then some sort of training tonight, we are two ships passing in the wee hours!! He was not lucky enough and ended up sick, of course for the first weekend I was away!!
Me, I am in way over my head, but just keep trying to take it day by day, I have literally not stopped since we moved, if I'm not driving somewhere, I am cleaning something, or am on a phone getting messages or arguing with the phone company to try and get service, five visits from the phone company in the first eight days of service (if that is what you want to call it!!)
I am however loving the country other than there is no MILK in this town!!! LOL
But this too shall pass and it is something to see the kids so happy especially our Lauren!!!
In the mist of this hectic life we lead, we hope that all is well with all of you and send all of our love and thoughts to you!!
P.S. Lauren lost her top tooth the day before picture day, so I told her to smile really big because I never want to forget the way she pinched her lip with the plyers her father gave to her to try and yank her own tooth out as I was walking through the door from my weekend at school!! LOL
