Been a long, long time

Okay, so I haven't blogged in...well....let's see...ummmm...FOREVER.

School has started back up and things are as busy as ever. Elijah is dancing competitive tap and hip hop again this year. He is also a FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL now so life has changed once again for him. He didn't enjoy it much at first but I think now that he's used to it, things are improving. He always has LOTS of homework but continues to maintain amazing grades. He still has great friends and enjoys going to football games and dances. He will be FIFTEEN in November and driving will be coming up in NO TIME! Where does the time go?

Noah is doing great. He is in eighth grade and in his last year at the Middle School. He has all A's this year and continues to "wow" us with his love of all things educational! Noah is involved in PeaceMakers and was inducted last Spring into the National Junior Honors Society. Needless to say he keeps busy. His new love is AirSoft wars with friends. He purchased his first AirSoft gun this month and is loving every single second of it. I have a feeling that Chad and I are going to get shot a lot!!! :)

Sydney is at the Middle School this year. She's a big SIXTH grader! What happened to my babies...they are growing up super duper fast!!! School is a constant struggle for Sydney. Social Studies is causing her quite a bit of angst right now but we are determined to get her on the right path. Syd is still very social and is on the phone quite a bit and now has her own email address so she is keeping "in contact" with EVERYONE! Sydney continues to melt us daily with her silly sense of humor and the ditziness that seems to encapsulate our daughter. She is such a peach!

Chad is doing well. His job continues to be on the stressful side of things and he struggles at times with all the changes and responsibilities that continues to be given to him. Chad is incredibly patient and continues to thrive and do well in his position. He was recently promoted to Accounts Manager and is learning all the ins and outs of his new job all the while doing his other job too. LOTS of stuff going on with him but he continues to maintain that amazing daddy/provider/husband role. :)

I am still working at the school in the library. This is my sixth year working for Delaware Community Schools. We've added a third Kindergarten class due to our increasing enrollment. While it is great for our school, it adds more responsibility for those that teach specials. I do enjoy being with the students and we continue to have a great staff.

All in all...we are great! We are heading to Gatlinburg for Fall Break and we can't wait to get away. I'm sure there will be lots and lots of pictures of that coming soon so be on the lookout!

Blessings to you and yours as we enter this season of Fall and Thanksgiving.
