Summer Vacation At Last

Everyone has such beautiful families! I can't believe how big all of the kids are getting.

Samuel will have extended school year starting the 14th and going through mid July. He did great at his preschool graduation. He had to wait for a few other names to be called before getting his certificate and he didn't fuss once (last year they had to call him first to keep him calm). He also stayed in his spot during their music presentation. He did wave at me a lot during it, but it was an improvement over him running up to the front of the stage multiple times last year.

Vivian was excited for the end of the school year. She says she'll miss her friends but she knows she will get to see them over the summer. I am very impressed with her academically (she is reading a grade level ahead) and am very proud of her dedication to dance (she insists on practicing everyday for about an hour).

Theodore is not sure about having everyone home right now, he is so used to having undivided attention in the afternoons that it is just not as much fun for him.

I just got a new job. I am an in-home caregiver. I do light housekeeping, cooking, and assist with other non-medical needs to help elderly people stay in their homes. It is perfect for what we needed (flexible hours, good pay, rewarding work).
