Yes, I'm still here...

Although it has been a while since I last posted something!

I have been released by the surgeon, so back to the normal stuff. Leah has been very concerned about when I could pick her up, go swimming (like this weather is swimming weather!) and do all the other stuff I did before I had surgery. Well, now I can. I am also back on track working out this week. It feels good. I also made it back to Seth's school to volunteer today. I forgot how much I enjoyed it! There is nothing like a bunch of 2nd & 1st graders glad to see you.

Scott & I both are feeling less stressed. We had a big meeting at church on Sunday which went really well. They approved the proposed budget & the building improvements. We both were involved with both items, so it was good to know that the church wants to move forward, too! I actually stepped out of my comfort zone and was liturgist on Sunday, too. I talked about why I loved my church. I was amazed when I went through the visitor info...we had 37 visiting families there on Sunday! If I had known that, I might have been more nervous.

Leah is still loving preschool. This week the topic has been dinosaurs. It is interesting to hear a 4 yr old's perspective on dinosaurs, so we've had a few laughs.

We also received info about preschool next year. Our options are: Olmstead with all day preschool integrated with the special needs kids that would cost $548/mo and includes before & after school care (no options on this), Rolling Green AM preschool that would be on the alternative calendar or Webster AM preschool that is a 15 minute drive out West daily. The second options are only $225/month. I think we have decided that Leah will go to Rolling Green again this coming year. I can't see spending the money for care that isn't needed or wasting our resources driving so far each day. This does mean that she will begin school on July 24 and have some longer breaks in the fall & spring which DOES NOT match Seth's school schedule. What a difficult decision!

I have been busy with soccer stuff this week. I have found rooms for the competitive teams for the spring/summer tournaments out of town and met with registrars to form Spring rec teams for the U9-U14 players. It has been busy that is for sure! That explains why I haven't had time to call regularly...
