Big Day

It has been awhile my friends!  So, a quick update before the "Big Day".

   We learned last fall that Sean's company had been sold and his job would eventually dissolve, so we've been going back and forth about moving farther away or going back to the Mitten...the mitten is winning which is bothersome to me because I won't get to finish school here in Indiana.

   We also learned last fall that our oldest, Hooligan A, has a rare disease called juvenile dermatomyositis.  The skinny on that is that her condition is getting better. A few of her liver enzymes aren't cooperating, but everything is looking good.  She is responding to her treatment well and so hopefully within a few months we'll be backing off some of her daily meds. Victory is hers!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Onto the "Big Day"!

   Most of you know that tomorrow is Hooligan A's first day of KINDERGARTEN!!!  She is going to a private catholic school (I am paranoid about the relentless teasing in a public school because of her constant sunblock applying and hat wearing.  Those Nuns will set teasers straight!), and she couldn't be more excited about getting to wear a skirt EVERYDAY and dressy shoes.

    Mommy is excited for her to learn to read.  We have been trying to teach her all summer, but she likes to pretend she "can't remember" or that it's "too hard" so we let her play on starfall.com (wonderful site, btw) and read to her and her cohorts at bedtime.  It is going to be a big exciting year!  Learning to read, writting better, and a bunch of time away from away from her brother and sister. 

  That's all I have today, I am a little busy preparing a back to school snack!  I promise to write again soon instead of in a couple of months!
