Another wonderful mommy moment!!

Well another mommy/daddy brag!

Logan is doing awesome in school! He is in a class of 14 boys and 6 girls. I talked to his teacher on Monday before the PTA meeting and she said it was a very trying class, but Logan was one of her top students! In fact she has to use him to escort many of the boys down the hall to the bathroom to make sure they are behaving while they are in there.

But that is not the brag...

This week I found out through another 1st graders mom that they started their spelling words, I just thought his class didn't get theirs yet... Well Logan's teacher always sends home a newsletter and her newsletter says I have sent home spelling words don't forget to start studying. I ask Logan where his were. He says oh, Sam and I (a girl that was in his class last year) have to be retested to be on another level. She wants to put us in another group. I was so proud. That just just says something about his teacher last year that the only kids in the room that need harder words came from the same class! I am going to shoot her an email and thank her! But anyways Logan needs harder spelling words!! My little genius!

Two years ago...

It has been quite the whirlwind...

Last year ago at this time I had a kindergartner and a 3 year old. I now have a 1st grader, Pre-Ker and Step Mother-In-Law, with lots of Step family to go along with her.

Yep you read that right... In one short year FIL (really it was six months) started dating another woman, he had been dating another woman as soon as Grace passed, in January proposed in May and got hitched in August...

And here we are! One big extended family. They left for their honeymoon yesterday. The wedding was August 15th. The ceremony was held in our church. My new Step Mother-In-Law's name is Barbara. The boys will call her Granny.

She, at times seems flighty, but that could be because she just had back surgery in June and could still be on pain meds... She sold her house in June and moved in with Larry. He will sell his as well and they are going to build a new one. She doesn't want to live in Grace's house. Mind you, Grace lived in the house a total of 5 days!

Because the moral of the story above is today is the 2 year anniversary of Grace's passing. WOW!! It just seems so hard to believe that another year has gone by. People keep living their lives. Time keeps going, it doesn't stop! I think her kids are still grieving and they are having a more difficult time understanding why Larry moved on more quickly. We will never know. Pastor Mike said he was surprised Larry waited as long as he did to remarry. He said men are usually remarried by 6 months. They just can't stand being alone...

Boy how fast time flies...
