My friend Melissa (of Memories after Midnight) has had an emergency this week. Her husband was rushed to the hospital on Monday night after having a seizure at work. They have determined that it is either Encephalitis or Meningitis. He will need to stay in the hospital for a week or so. Needless to say, my spare time has been taken up with praying.
On this coming Saturday we are having a Dedication service for Emma. We were waiting until we were comfortable in our new church. Aidan had his done when he was a month old or so. And it was done in the actual church service. Since Center Street Church is so big, they have to do it as a separate service. Anyway, we have been finalizing details for this. It should be fun.
Last night we went to the interview for a new school for Aidan. He needs some more challenges in his schooling. We have applied to the Science School and the Arts-based learning school. Anyway, we went and met with the principal of the Arts one last night. It is a small school (200 students) and seems like a nice little place to be. They have lots of technology (smart boards in every room) and computers (apple notebooks). All of the grade 5s and 6s get their own laptop. I know. Crazy. She said she has a spot for him for next year. So, I think this will be the one we choose. There is usually a waiting list for the Science school. I will keep you posted.
Today and tomorrow is Teacher's Convention, so Aidan has no school. Tomorrow I have no Maggie, since her Daddy is off. I need to do some running around for the Dedication, anyway. And then Monday is Family Day. A nice long break for us all.
And the most exciting new?? My mom, my sister, my mom's best friend and I are all going to Disneyland in May!! I can't wait. I have not been since I was in Grade 9. We went for Christmas then. This time we are going in a low time. Lines should be shorter and weather will (hopefully) be nicer. Last year we went to San Diego. This time we have added a friend and are going to see THE giant mouse. I told the kids we were going to LA, but not specifically about Disneyland.
Anyway, these girl trips are going to be an annual thing. I think it is necessary for my sanity...especially as a stay-at-home mom.

I'm sorry about Melissa's husband. I have been praying for them.
That is very serious about your friend''s husband-0-very serious, indeed. I hope he'll make a full recovery.
As for your exciting news about Disneyland--good for you having that planned for spring--something to look forward to(and yoiu deserve this little break). Your children are still quite young and will likely enjoy it more if they wait until they are older, anyway, too.
Also..the Arts school sounds great for Aidan. It's a very good thing to live in aplace where you have a choice of good schools.
Hope your friend's husband will recover soon and completely!! I can imagine your mind was elsewhere.
How did the Dedication service go? Hope it was a special one!
The school sounds great! I hope he will be happier there!
Wow... the girlie getaway sounds like so much fun :). I like having things to look forward to, keeps one going, doesn't it!
