Perfect Attendance!


Caroline received a medal today at school for perfect attendance. She got to walk across the stage in their assembly hall and received her medal and then go to a reception and eat cake. I think she was more excited about the cake than the medal, but she was very proud of herself. I think the parents should get an award too! Caroline is not exactly a morning person and it takes a lot of effort to get her out the door everyday.

Chase is doing great with his medication. I've had to tweak the dosage a bit to get to just the right amount, but I think we are there. His teachers are just amazed at what a different kid he is. Things finally seem to be falling into place. It is so pleasant to pick him up and the teachers are telling me what a great job he did that day. It seemed for the longest time, all I got was a list of all the things he did wrong and how many time outs he was in. I am so grateful we seem to have found a solution to some of his issues.

Both kids are finished with school on Wednesday then they will be home with me for the rest of the week and then the babysitter starts next Monday when I go back to work. Hopefully we can squeeze a few fun things in this summer, maybe a trip to San Antonio or Branson would be fun for them, we'll see.

That is awesome! Yeah Caroline!
If you do decide to come up to Branson give us a call. It is only 1.5 hours from us. We could easily meet you up there for a day.
