Having said that, we're all good. Anna started school on Feb. 13, and I wasn't sure how she'd do. However, it has been good for her. She goes three hours per day, and she's excited to go and excited to come home. As of right now, her biggest delay is in speech. Everything else is pretty much caught up, and her vocab is growing by leaps and bounds. Her receptive language is off the charts good so now we just have to keep trucking on the expressive language. But she knows her colors, numbers 1-10, most letters, and shapes. She also has an amazing memory. Once she's taught something, it sticks. The other plus of school is definitely the social interaction. She's learning to take turns and share and play. It doesn't always thrill her to learn these things, but it's still good for Miss Priss. And of course, school gives me a chance to get stuff done around the house and run errands. It's amazing what I can accomplish in three short hours.

Andrew is doing really good as well. He works so hard at school and is just an all around good kid. He is growing like crazy, and I can't keep clothes that fit him. He's also a great big brother, and his sister's biggest protector and fan.
Cowboy day at school ... his pants are a little on the short side, but we made them work.
We've broken ground on our house, but things have been slow going due to a lot of rain. It looks like we have clear sunny weather in the forecast for a while so work should pick up, and of course, we're thankful for the rain. I'm hoping to be moved in by the end of August. We'll see.
Finally, we're going on our first little road trip since bringing Anna home. We're keeping it simple and praying she does okay. Both of my kids are homebodies so I'm taking everything and the kitchen sink to make sure they feel comfortable and "at home" no matter where we are.
And that's all folks. Hope you're enjoying your week!
