I know the pictures are probably what most people want to see. Sorry I haven't gotten more of them posted. I don't have a problem taking the pictures, just remembering to download them to the computer.

Sarah is doing really well. We go to play group every Thursday. It's really good for her. Allen said today she actually tried to crawl the normal way while I was at soccer practice with Caleb. She's also starting to get herself down from standing. Getting into the standing position hasn't been a problem, she just hasn't figured out how to sit down. She's doing better on that. I told her pediatrican today that I wasn't too concerned about her walking yet. She has plenty of time. Now if it's time for her to go to preschool and she's still scooting herself across the floor, well maybe we'll get a little concerned then. Until then, she gets into plenty as it is. She even tried to eat the cat's tuna this morning.

I never thought I'd say it, but I've been looking into online universities. I've decided to go back to school and get my BA. I'd found one that met my requirements, so I thought, and they were supposed to get back with me within the week. Well, that was 2 weeks ago. So I went searching again today. I applied for information to a few universities and two got back with me really quickly. One I've discovered isn't really what I was needing. The other sounds like it will work. Now I just need to contact them personally and talk about requirements. Another good thing about this school is that they recognize the Spouses to Teachers (and Troops to Teachers) program and have scholarships for it.

Wow! I just realized that one of my feet has gone to sleep. PAINFUL! I don't even want to move it. That's what I get for sitting on my leg for so long. Ok, that's better. Now where was I?

Oh yes, going back to school. Anyway, Joshua and I took the turtles that we'd been watching all summer back to his 4th grade teacher. Something just felt different about being in the school. It was just like it was where I belonged. So, I called the person today who is going to watch Sarah for me. Her husband works with Allen. I have her and two other people lined up so that I can sub. We're going to go to her house tomorrow so I can see where she lives. One of the other people lives really close to the school so that's good. Then I'm going to go to both schools and tell them I still want to sub this year. I had originally said I wasn't going to, but now that I feel more comfortable with the childcare situtation, I think I will work more than just one day a week. I just want to make sure that they know I still want to work.

Guess that's about it. I will try to post again after the first day of school. I still can't believe Joshua will be in middle school. I think I'm more nervous about him going to middle school than I was when Caleb went. Tomorrow we also find out who Daniel's teacher will be. I'm excited about that too. I really like both of the second grade teachers! By the way, if this in one REALLY long post, I apologize. I have tried several time to put spaces in between the paragraphs and it's not letting me!
