We had the girls conferences tonight and they are both soaring thru 1st and 2nd grade w/ flying colors!!!! Austyn is finally up just above 2nd grade reading level and she's mastering her math skills like a champ and has a deep love of anything science related!!! She's finally opening up in class, I know, really, I'm talking about Austyn, and she's just an absolute joy to have, teacher's words, not mine:-)!! Abbie is literally exceeding at all things 1st grade and doesn't show signs of stopping:-)!! She's always quiet, but excited to learn anything she can. She's very friendly/social but knows that school is priority numero uno:-)!!! She's having some issues w/ counting money, but let's be honest, we can all have some issues with that now and again, even as responsible grown ups:-). All in all, she is thriving and making excellent headway towards 2nd grade!!!
Today, the whole school of Hillside got to go to the Iowa Energy Basketball game, a 1st for the girls, and they had such fun!!! The Iowa Energy won and the girls now get to check going to a "professional basketball game" off their fun things we've done list! I just love how our school has such exciting and wonderful opportunities for the students to see/do that a lot would of otherwise never had the chance to!!!
One last thing.........................we have a major success for our household this week, and it's the getting along of 2 doggies!!!!! Oh yeah, we got another dog, Marley, a 2 1/2 yr old Chocolate Lab, last Friday from some friends who had decided that 2 grown labs was plenty:-). The 2 of them wanted nothing to do w/ the other at first and Peanut was not okay with another puppy invading her space, but something clicked last night and they are now the best of friends!! You know how hard it is trying to keep 2 dogs from fighting like cats & dogs:-)....our house is not near large enough for their playing of swords, but we love that they are now getting along like brother and sister:-)!!! Praise the Lord for the little things!!
