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.
