Summer time!

Today was the last day of school for my kids and I am so glad! I know they are as well. We are all ready for a break.

Hannah had an amazing year. She was on the A-B Honor roll all year, which is great compared to her straight D's of last year. Her teacher is retiring, which I'm sad about bc she is so amazing and I was going to request Ryan have her for second grade. Her teacher helped me choose who Hannah should have next year so I am praying she continues having amazing years one right after another.

We started piano lessons a few weeks ago. She has had 3 so far. Hannah is our musicly inclined child. Brad nor I have a gift for music so I'm not sure where it came from but she loves it and I love it that she has something to love! She does not have confidence in herself and I'm hoping this brings our her inner star. We will have to stop once school starts again if she can't handle both things.

Ryan....I'm not even sure what to say about my boy. I love him to pieces. He has his father's heart. Always putting others first, unless it is Hannah, then he puts her last. Siblings! He also had an amazing year. His teacher says he is so sweet and says "yes, ma'am." He is so much farther along than Hannah was going into first grade. I'm giving his teacher credit for that.

Abigail still has 2 school-years to be home with mom. She is my little fire cracker! I'm nervous about how the baby is going to do in school. She isn't afraid to tell you what she wants and she has the sass to go with it.

In other news, Brad and the union guy have been playing phone tag all week so he still hasn't talked with them about the details of starting a job with them. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, see my previous blog post.) He is your typical guy who doesn't talk about anything. I want to know plans, how he feels about the situation every single day. I don't feel any sense of urgency from him. Meanwhile, I have already painted 2 rooms. I can feel the chances of us moving decreasing with every passing day. I just want to know which direction we are going in!
