This has been a fantastic summer for our family! We have really enjoyed our time with each other and other family members. We were able to go on our very first family "bacation" (Jennifer's word). We made contact with family we didn't know and reached out to those that we had lost touch with. As we tell this summer break goodbye, we will not say goodbye to those relationships that mean so much to us. We look forward to continuing to build relationships with our family and friends.
This school year, Jonathan will be a sophomore and Jennifer will be a third grader. WOW! Time flies! I just don't know how my kids have gotten so grown. I'm starting my ninth year at Redcliffe. Nicholas will be with his sitter most days and getting in a little Grandma time on Fridays. I love that my mom is able to keep him one day a week. It's their special time.
We are looking forward to achieving new academic goals and developmental milestones. Jonathan will begin really focusing on his college and career goals. I've got to figure out a way to convince him to go somewhere other than Clemson! ;-) Jennifer's going to have a very defining year. She is still mainstreamed and enjoying time with typically developing peers. She loves learning and I know that's going to be key for her success in this transition year. Nicholas will continue to meet new milestones. He'll celebrate many first holidays in the first half of this school year. I'm so glad to have a job that allowed me to be home to see him rollover, crawl and get his first tooth. Now, if I could just get him to take his first steps during Christmas break. Tomorrow, I have some training and then, Friday will be my first "official" day back to work. I absolutely LOVE my job!
Here's to the 2013-2014 school year!
