Aubri's End of the Year Preschool Program

Aubriella stood proud among her friends as she sang her songs and fingerplays for us. It was a perfect opportunity for her to get a picture with her fun and caring teachers, and invite some friends over for her birthday party. She had been begging to have a playdate with two of the little girls all year long. Overall, I think Aubriella enjoyed her preschool classes, but even towards the end of the year the teacher said she would occasionally have some “tough” days because she was crying for her mommy. I was thankful to be able to volunteer in her classroom several times this year and I am still trying to form an opinion on how I feel about a regular classroom for Aubri. It seems that the Montessori approach would be much more fitting for her (too bad it would break the pocketbook). The typical classroom offers very little for individual interests and talents to blossom but rather treats projects and activities as more something that needs to be done and checked off the list. I’m not trying to sound snobby or unappreciative I just question the traditional approach to teaching in general. Hmmm…just my opinion.

"The Waiting is the Hardest Part"!

You know that song by Tom Petty, it's been in my head for over a month now! As we're doing our best to be patient about the house and business, I think some things might be happening this week.


The business sale is still waiting to have a signed purchase agreement. We've been going back and forth between our attorneys to have a purchase agreement that both of us can agree upon. On Monday morning, they sent over their final draft for our approval. Everything looked good from our end so we should be fairly close. Once we've agreed on the phrasing of everything on the purchase agreement, Fastframe Corp. takes a look at it to make sure they're ok with all the changes that were made to their original template. Then we'll both sign it and begin to move forward. The store transfer date is still slated for July 28th.

As far as the house goes, it's been fairly slow. But, Monday night we had a showing and they came back and looked at it last night too. We also got a phone call asking when we prefer to close on the house. So, we may get an offer today or tomorrow. The "waiting" drives us nuts at times.


Last night when I was praying with Aubri before bed she said, " Lord, please let us sell our house because my mommy's crazy, so let us sell our house so she doesn't have to be crazy anymore..." Amen to that :)

Many Pictures Coming This Week!

We have been really behind and now that I have my laptop back I hope to get a bunch of posts and pictures up this week, so be prepared to browse!!!! :)
