So, we have limited access to the 'net in our new digs, and school keeps me hopping from sunrise to sunset...so here I attempt to catch up on two and a half months of events!
1.) Yes, I am still pregnant...24 weeks and 5 days, as of this writing. After two boys...yep, it's a girl! We are calling her Shelby Celine...Cel from Cecelia, and Ine from Elaine. We couldn't decide on an appropriate nickname for her if we stuck with the original names, so here's our compromise! So far so good...she's growing like a weed, and we are looking forward to seeing her in February.
2.) We finally moved to Laurel! I have a ten minute commute to school, and it takes Scott and the boys about 20 minutes. It's not the best neighborhood, honestly, but it serves its purpose until we can get where we want to be.
3.) Brandon is SOARING in school- 815 on the SRI, which puts him reading on the sixth grade level (he's in third grade)...and well on his way to being identified as TAG, which gives him additional challenges and ideas, as well as on extra field trips. He's currently reading a series of books called "The Shadow Children", and he is on the second book. I ordered the first one so I can keep up!
4.) Jeremy is settling nicely into second grade...although he hates wearing a uniform to school! And he's also made peace with having a sister on the way. Every day he asks me how Shelby is...did I feel her move? It is so cute!
5.) Scott is on his way to China at the beginning of December for a week! It's a crazy plane ride...he leaves Maryland at 830 in the morning on Thursday, and lands in Beijing at 9:00 Friday night! He flies first to Seattle, then on to Beijing. He is excited and nervous...and I am keeping an eye on the bank account. This will be a great experience for him, and for his resume, but it sure has been an expensive trip.
As for me, I am the same as always...a busy mom, wife, daughter, and teacher. I am hoping to have some time for myself before the baby comes. We'll see about that. And I am also going to try to get on here more often to keep you all up to date on all of our adventures!
