a new year

There's not a lot to report on in our little world right now, but since I haven't posted anything in awhile, I thought I'd write something.  School started back up last week, only it didn't....at least not for Rebecca and me!  We only go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and both of those days were snow days!  So I have yet to go back to work after the holidays.  Tomorrow is my first day back, and I know I'll be up late tonight watching the big game (Go Bucks!) so it's bound to be a long day....but I'm also anxious to get back into the swing of things.  And Rebecca is looking forward to seeing her friends at school.  She cried last week when she found out she couldn't go to school.  

Rachel did have school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of last week.  She's happy to be back and is enjoying herself.  The days she was home for snow days were just one long argument between her and her sister.  Ugh.....I couldn't decide which I would rather be doing--teaching three year olds or dealing with their squabbles.  

Rebecca and I have been working on her writing her name.  She's never shown an interest in drawing, coloring, writing, or any pencil and paper activity, like Rachel always did, so she's not as far along as I would like for her to be before kindergarten next year.  But yesterday at Sunday School she did this paper and wrote her name by herself.  It shows progress, so I was happy to see it.  We keep working on writing her name with lower case instead of all capital letters, but if I'm not there to remind her, then this is how she writes it.

She'll get there.....
