I stole that line from Jen! I never thought I'd use it, bit it was the first line that came to mind tonight!
The last couple of days have been okay. Life keeps on ticking by...yes, just like time. And, sometimes, that ticking is in our favor!
Zack got his first progress report - all As and 2 Cs. It just so happens that the Cs are in reading and math - doh! He really is behind. In this case, the Christian school is definitely advanced. Sheesh!
Sophia had an okay day, but had a little defiant moment at school so she had a talking to this evening. I think she'll do great tomorrow. She seemed sad that she had to pull a card at school. The teachers assure me that she is one of the better behaved kids so I won't panic too much!
We had a great evening on Monday night visiting an "old" friend who I met when I was about 13! She has two kids - 2 and 3, but her three year old kept up with Zack with no issues at all! They had a ton of toys and a backyard that is every kid's dream. The kids have been begging to go back there! I keep telling them, "someday," and Zack says, "Oh, good Friday, Saturday and then someday"!!!!
Tonight we saw a friend at the mall, and somehow Zack asked about tornados. As we were explaining to him that we don't worry about those in CA, he asked what a tornado shelter was made of. We told him that they are made of very strong walls. He said, "Oh, like big blocks"? We said, "Exactly." He said, "Yes, I understand." "It is just like the three little pigs"!!!!
Zack LOVES his new teacher, and I am amazed at how much his reading has improved! I am most excited though that his attitude towards school has changed! I don't want him to dread school for his entire life!
I said I wasn't going to give my opinion of the TriVita Vitamins for a while, but after one week of taking them, I am a new person! I feel more energetic and alive. I can manage my pain better. I still feel the pain and sadness, but it does not envelope me like it had been doing. So, I LOVE the sublingual vitamims!!!!!
Pardon any typos. I am nearly sleeping!

Glad you are starting to feel better. :)
It is so exciting that Zach's reading is improving and that he loves school. It is amazing that he has only been home just over a year. So many changes in language and life, it is amazing how well he is doing. I am teaching K/1 now and I agree that a love for school is very important at this age. He is learning a ton and sounds like he is catching up well. So glad the new school sounds like a great fit for both Zach and Sophia!
Have a great week.

i like how zack compared it to the 3 little pigs haha
D, you can use that line any time. :-) I'm glad you're feeling a little better and clinging to God. I'm praying for you. Glad to hear the kids are doing so well. I love the pics, especially the ones that have all 3 of you.
glad he is loving school now.
