Expecting!

For those of you who don't know... We are expecting Wadell #3!! Due January 18th, we are all very excited!! Rach wants another girl, everyone else is telling me I'm going to have a boy, and I at the moment, have no feeling one way or the other, which is hard, because with Gabi, I KNEW it was going to be a girl. (and I always thought people that *knew* were nuts!)

So yeah, I'm a whole 5 weeks along and I fly back to Sac in June for my first prenatal appointment.

Oh yeah, so we were in Orlando for a whole month and the selling stunk out there, so we wrapped up the office there and moved it to Austin. It's WONDERFUL here, we love it. The sales are still up in the air as they just started yesterday, but we, as a group, love the city and people and weather. We are in Cedar Park and if we ever decide to leave Rocklin, this place comes in next of where we'd settle. We went to the local grocery and I had a note left on the car about WELCOME to Texas. I thought that was sooo sweet!!

So this is the latest haps on us. I need to get some pictures from our other comp and upload them here, but to see the apartments, we are in www.verdebrushycreek.com. Really nice.

Also, Rach is LOVING homeschooling. We are enjoying it and are glad to be doing it. Especially with the moving around so much. But it is just nice for the sense of control of what Rach is learning. And it doesn't have to be lame busy work, it is just straight to the point. So we are doing multiplication, and she writes me poems and we read poetry and history stories, read from Highlights magazine, and then there are the What Every 2nd Grader (etc.) Needs to Know... and that is a great book too. So we go over art lessons. Like we were discussing landscapes. I'm enjoying learning/relearning right along side her. Then I give Gabs some paper and she likes to color and "do her homework" too. :) Gabs is doing well with her colors and counting.

Let's keep praying for much success for Kev!

As a child one of my favorite things was "playing school". So fun! And if Gabi is anything like that, she will love to play school and will be super teachable!!

I'm so glad, more than I can ever express, that you are homeschooling. It is a dream come true for me.
