I started back to CSUS to start my Level 2 credential for Special Ed. and my Master's at the end of August. There is a lot of work to be done and I realized that after three weeks the Master's was not in the cards for me at this point in my life. I had a headache for 3 weeks and was stressed trying to find time to study and time to spend with my family. On Monday, after a LONG talk with Richard (I talked, he listened), I decided not to continue my Master's and may go back to it later in life when the girls are older. I feel like home is where I need to be at this point and I am happy with my decision. The added bonus is that since deciding to stop, my headaches have gone away.
Now to good stuff! The girls are doing great. Camille is talking more and we are trying to get her to say words instead of grunting all the time. Tonight we had the best giggle session and was lucky enough to catch it on video. I will try to post soon. He giggles are contagious. She is no longer as attached to her blanket which is fantastic because I did not like taking it EVERYWHERE with us. Overall, she is great. We are getting her room finally put together with curtains and her name. Hopefully we can put up the shelves soon.
Evelyn is great. She is talking our ears off about anything and everything. She knows her address and can identify all of her letters. Pretty good I think for 3. She is doing great.
This past weekend we went to Bishop, CA and were fortunate enough to meet up with my family. My dad's birthday was on Friday so we got there in the early afternoon. The girls did great on the drive, except Evelyn got car sick so we had to pull over and take care of her. Otherwise, the drive was great. We stayed until Sunday and had a great time. The girls did pretty good sleeping in the tent. This was a first for Camille and was a little hard the first night but the next night she did great. Saturday we went fishing at Lake Sabrina (I played with the girls) and had a nice day at the lake. On Sunday, before heading out of town we stopped at Schatt's bakery and got some goodies. You can't visit Bishop without going to Schatt's.
It was a great time and it was great to see my parents, Scott and Nicole and Tyler and Shalena. I think everyone had a great time and it was nice to be with my dad on his birthday and my parents on Grandparent's Day. I will post pictures. Sadly I did not take many. I am hoping my picture taking starts to increase now that school is less stressful.
Hope all is well in your area. Love you all!
