August~ School is in!




Gary and I are so fortunate to have so many choices for Stellas education in the area. Or I should say, Stella is fortunate. Where I grew up you had one choice. That was it, one. This year we registered Stella at three schools just to hold our spots. We ended up being able to keep her at Turtle River, which is our first choice, and Stella was thrilled. We didn't have to go through any new routines, it was like being home. 
I know every child has a special way of tapping into their mind. I truly believe montessori schooling has been the way for Stella. Being that the parents involvement  is mandatory, not only have I seen, but all of the parents have seen Stella and her classmates flourish together. This year she is busy reading, and working on her math skills. The best reward? This is all self directed, she is learning because she wants to, and loves to, and she is happy while she is doing it.

JULY ~Stellas 5th Birthday






Stella had her 5th birthday on July 30. We had her party the weekend before at the local bowling alley and then went to Ghee and Pop Pops for her actual birthday. Spider man was the theme this year, Im not surprised, after all, she was Spider man for Halloween last year. 
Here is where I look back, thinking of every year she has been with us. Grateful for being together. And another note of Gary and I wondering if the gap will be too far if we have another child. Opinions vary, only time will tell. Happy Birthday Stella!

JULY? That was my last post?

Sick isn't it?
Man, I just checked others blogs and they are all so...so... up to date!
All the things we have experienced as a family in 3 months! And you haven't even had the chance to hear about it. I won't give excuses, but I will explain, well a  little.
Sometimes I blog because something is on my mind, sometimes I blog because something is on my mind and I don't want to blog about it. Make sense? If you were me it would.:)
I will insert posts by month.
