I can't beleive it is already February! Wow. The time just seems to go by and I can beleive it. The kids are all growing so fast. Nikolai is going in for his second set of Tubes in his ears this week. That should be fun for us. Megan is becoming a little Debbie (as Christie says). Friday she took the Cell Phone to school in her pocket. (I had no idea she had it) when I asked her why she said, "Because I needed it!" and the other day she was over at grandpa's and was aked to go tell grandpa dinner is ready and he said "I will be up in a minute" and she said, "No, you come to dinner now!" They have such personalities and attitudes.
I spent a couple days in 3rd grade with Austin to see how his days are during the rotation through 3 Teachers. (Yes, the have 3 teacher is 3 grade.) It was a real eye opening experience. The challenges that the teachers face today are far more difficult then I remember. We are currently working to get him some extra help with reading and such to ensure he has a successful education. Nothing is more frustrating then having to argue and fight with him to complete his homework for 2 hours a night and that is just to complete a simple worksheet not even working a report.
He has transferred Scout troops and is now part of the Stake Pack which included a few kids from school so it should be fun. He has been excited each time I have picked him up after den meeting. Scout-O rama tickets will be going on sell soon so if you are interested let us know. I beleive they go on sell in March.
