This is my first time blogging... I thought it would be a nice way to let my family in Michigan and Patrick's family in Indiana know what is up in our lives.
Lately our lives seem to revolve around education. Patrick is an admissions counselor at the University of Phoenix, as well as a student there. The counselor job has been the biggest blessing for our family and is fitting Patrick's gifts perfectly. Being a student is really stretching him, he works hard to keep up with his classes. He is currently majoring in business.
I am teaching Kindergarten, part-time at a charter school. I am totally loving my class and the part-time aspect. I am not nearly as stressed as I used to be when I taught 4th grade, full-time. I pick the boys up from school 4 days a week and get Peyton by 1:30p.m. It is great! We have been going to the library every week and just really enjoying our mom and boys time.
Mason and Johvan are busy in 6th and 3rd grade. Mason got to march in the homecoming parade last Friday. He was the most energetic student counsel rep. in the parade. I had visions of watching him as a high school student. A little scary for me... Johvan is our creative artistic genius. He can draw pictures that you can't believe are possible for an eight year old. I know one day I will see his work in a book, cartoon, comic, or movie.
Little Peyton spends the time while I am teaching at La Petite; his little school. He has won the hearts of the teachers. Praise God for his favor! The teachers take great care of him and he enjoys it while he is there.
When we are home together we spend time reading, playing games, and watching movies. We also spend a lot of time keeping up with Peyton. It takes all four of us!
We are attending a church that we really like~ Vineyard North Phoenix. Patrick and I are really challenged by the teachings and we are looking for ways to begin serving there. Patrick is getting plugged in with a men's group.
This my fall update:)
