It's a Process

I've been in school for almost a month now. Mike, the kids, and I are adjusting to the change. It has been pretty hard on my diet, but I'll get back on track! :) So far I've written three papers. Two of them have yet to be graded, but I got a 10/10 on my first English paper. I took my first psychology exam and scored 77/80; my first medical terminology quiz, I got 30/30; my first algebra exam is this tuesday. I feel confident that I will do well on it. My music and political science exams are still a few weeks away, so I guess we'll see how they go. Mike is doing really well, too. He has gotten only perfect marks so far, hooray!

The kiddos are starting to get used to their new schedule. They're a little grumpy on Monday mornings after their three-day weekends, but not too bad. Danny is talking sooo much! I know it's only normal, but it's just such a relief after all the problems we had with Phillip. Danny knows his alphabet and maybe 1/3 of the letter sounds. He counts to nine. He like's to ask me "what's that?" Oh, and he knows circle, square, and star. He doesn't actually say "star" though, he sees one and starts singing "twinkle, twinkle." It's adorable. His favorite toys right now are cars and blocks. He especially loves the track his Oma got him for Christmas. Phillip is trying really hard to adjust socially. He has a lot of quirks that we are working with him on. It can be hard on him learning to interact with the other kids sometimes. I've always been so stingy with my children, so they're a little behind socially.
