2010 has started out to be a crazy year, already full of big changes in store for our family. God is leading us, calling us down a different path.
To begin:
We've pulled Amelia from preschool to do solid homeschooling. We've discovered that Amelia has a very different learning style, and one that is not being met at her current school setting. So, as we've begun working with her at home, we are trying to find out what works for her and her artistic little mind. It's been an interesting challenge...but, we are getting there.
Secondly, I am transfering to a different Starbucks on March 22nd. There have been some scary moments at my current store that seriously made me question my safety. Along with that, I am trying to plan for my future with a new little baby, and physically, I know it won't be possible to be up till 1:00am, AND sanely nurse and care for a newborn baby, as well as homeschool. I'm both excited, and nervous about the change. It's always hard to go into
'un-charted' territory. I am stepping down from management to make this change, but I HAVE to do what is best for me and my family. And for them, I'll do whatever it takes.
Thirdly, if you haven't heard, we are having a little girl. We are due July 23rd!!
Because Washington Law is discussing SERIOUS budget cuts for ALL Alternative Learning centers, including River Homelink....I am signing up for a course to become a "certified" homeschooler. Basically, it just means that I can teach on my own and don't have to have the accountability of going through a WA state certified teacher. I am praying DESPERATELY that they don't cut RHL, it has blessed our socks off, and Elijah has THRIVED in their program. I don't know what it will look like if they cut that option out of MANY homeschoolers. Please pray, call your state representatives...DON'T let them cut this vital aspect out of our state. I am excited for the course and just want to learn as much as I can.

I hope they don't cut that funding for you! My state is broke and is cutting everything. Ryan is a role model in an autistic preschool class and he does wonderful! We pay for him to attend the ASD class but it is a godsent for him. He goes 5 days a week for about 5 hrs , he has learned so much from the class. Do they not have such a thing at the elementary schools out there? That way it might give you just a tiny break?
Congrats on the baby! 4 kids will definately a handful, not like 3 isn't. Hope 2010 settles down for you soon, but it doesn't sound like it will. Wishing the best for you and your family in the upcoming journey! :)
