Why don't I keep this more up to date?? !!!
Sydney left for SC and has since started her first year of highschool!! Yes, our girl is officially a Freshman. It seems like only yesterday that I was a bundle of nerves and excitement to meet the wonderful little six year old that her Daddy was so anxious and proud for me to meet. And right from day one, I was smitten. And now here Sydney is...starting a whole new chapter in her life. We could not be more proud of you sweetheart...fully enjoy these coming years and all they have to offer.
Nicholas will start back to school the Wednesday after Labour Day. Now that he saw his best friend Chase at his birthday party on Friday, he actually seems a little bit excited about going back. Up until then...uh, NO. We will be happy to get him back with kids his own age and getting focused again with learning and socializing. We also found new daycare that we are quite excited about. It seems that with both of Nicholas' daycares in the past, he has always had children younger than him or older ones in school. And he has always formed bonds with these children but now, we are all happy that our new provider, Lindsay, has three boys....a 6 month old, and 5 and 6 year olds. And the 5 year old is also going into SK...only he is going to the french immersion school in B'ville. BUT they will have the same days off every week so my bet is they will become fast friends...and even better, they only live a few minutes up the road. Lindsay also cares for a 3 year old boy so he should be good company for Shane. The daycare setup is as we hoped...structured with a healthy focus on learning while also having fun.
Shane is doing great....although we do wish his words were coming along better. But, we do know they are coming and he most definitely understands what we say. We are working with him though and I'm sure I will be posting a blog one day saying be careful what you wish for...!!
Johnathon and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary this past Monday. We were able to spend a couple hours chatting on the patio at our pub after work. Our plan was to go home, spend some time with the munchkins, get them tucked in and order Chinese and enjoy a quiet, candlelit dinner. Well...that plan didn't quite work out. We got the boys to bed, pulled out the menu..spent about a half hour deciding on what to order...only to find out that restaurant wasn't open on Mondays! Hm, so then we decided to order take out from the restaurant in town, Steamers. Johnathon called to order, only to find out they are closed down for two weeks as new owners have taken over. Hm. Now, most of you know that Newcastle is a tiny town with very limited options for dining. So, then it turned to pizza and wings. We had picked up slices for the boys the previous week and had a little taste...and oh so yummy. So, we thought we would give them a try. And guess what?? Closed. A pizza place that closed before 845 pm! Is this bad karma or what? What are we supposed to take from this?? Who knows...we are guessing just a good laugh! Oh, and it turns out, that we ended up ordering from our standard place and enjoyed some pizza and wings. Not exactly what we had in mind...but all good. Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband...only 3 more years til Vegas baby and our re-marriage by Elvis!!
