Long time...no post

We have been so busy lately and I haven't been keeping up with the blog as well as I should have. So here's an attempt at a long overdue update.....Scott had knee surgery last month but he has recovered and back to work now. He is doing much better with the repairs.

Raegan has been a busy girl. She finished her first soccer season and enjoyed every minute of it. However, she enjoyed cheering for the team almost as much as playing the game....which leads us to her newest adventure. She is going to cheer for jr. pro basketball at her school. There are about 8 little girls on her squad and she is super excited about it! If she likes cheerng that much then we may sign her up for gymnastics. Recently Raegan was also the flower girl for homecoming. It's hard to believe she could be big enough to do all of these things....it seems like yesterday she was just a toddler. Time sure does fly!

My schedule has been really hectic lately...Monday 3-D Academy (professional development), Tuesday-Thursday... teach enrichment before and afterschool...Friday and Saturday....grad school classes.....Sunday...teach 3 yr olds. AHHHHHHH! Thank goodness things are finally winding down. I have finished my first semester of my Ed.S. but not without a few stumbling blocks. The work is much more difficult for this degree than it was for my Master's and school (work) has added so many more responsibilities with changing policies and updated federal and state standards. I always knew that public education was tougher than most people realized but now it is drastically changing, making the jobs of teachers and administrators much more challenging. Additionally, I have completed Administrator training with the superintendent of schools and survived an interview with the other supervisors. That was definitely an experience. I have also survived 2 of my 4 professional evaluations for the year. I will finish my remedial/enrichment classes soon as the students get ready to take the state end-of-course exam. I only have one more session of 3-D Academy professional development...Wooohooo!

So as you can tell....we have been very busy to say the least. We are looking forward to the upcoming holidays and time spent with family and friends. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I am looking forward to time off to enjoy it with my family.
