Hi everyone, Nick's surgery went very well and I now feel like I was much more worried about the whole process than I should have been. Jody and I were really biting our nails about it for the last few months but he came through like a trooper and doesn't even need pain meds. He's as happy as a lark.
Eden started gymnastics this past Thursday and it was so wonderful. Her friend Charlotte from school happens to be in the same class and they were very happy to see each other there. It made me so happy that she's finally finding her place in Longmont. It's been a pretty tough transition for her.
Kaitlyn has been sponging up homeschool like a champ these last couple of weeks and we'll be cranking it up this week. We'll start back with story hour at the Library and she will start gymnastics as well. She's so much fun to teach because she acts like it's an act for me to teach and her to learn etc... She does everything I read about in my Montessori books. She works on things until she's done and loves to teach herself. Jody and his dad made the kids a table with a big tub in it and we'll be doing alot of hands on experiments with it. I'm very excited. She'll be able to practice pouring, measuring, sorting and things like that with it. Here's a link to exactly what they made in no time at all. It's called the sand and water table.

Jerry and Marcy came out for an extended visit and we all had so much fun I don't know where to begin or end. First of all we all cooked the whole week and ate completely sumptuous food. The kids played their hearts out. Eden learned how to ride her bike!!!! Training wheels are gone and she is now wobbling her way down the sidewalks. It was so exciting. Jerry took Eden to school in the Corvette. That was a pretty big hit. Kait and Eden did about 50 craft projects with Marcy which was so nice for the not so crafty mom. We went shopping.... of course. The best thing of all for me was that they stayed through the surgery and took Eden and Kait to the Childrens Museum. It was so nice that we could focus on Nick and know that the girls were completely cared for.
More later, but long and short, we are really settling in to our life in Longmont and finding our place.
We have a renter in Kasson for at least nine months, possibly longer.
I hope
