Hello Friends

Hello Everyone.

It seems my blog has quite a few layers of dust on it. Excuse me as I clear it off. *sneezes*

We are finally here in the Syracuse NY area and are finding our footing. The kids and I have found a couple of playgroups to join and Bill is cracking away at his school work.

I haven't been able to go back to work yet because the NY Dept of Education is super duper slow. They said I probably have about 3 more weeks of waiting. :(

The kids seem to be adjusting well. They love sharing bunk beds and have an entire room for their toys and video games. They are slowly making new friends. Ian was screened and will start first grade in the fall. The birthday cut off here is Dec 1 so he was already in the 1st grade age range and then once they tested him he was so far above the kindergarten standard that it was obvious that he would be very bored in kindergarten. Kindergarten is only half day here so I am sure it would have been odd to go from full time to part time for him though I do find it bittersweet that he is skipping K-5. I'm just glad to know that between MCA in Texas and me working with him that he is doing very well academically.

So there's your update.
