Happy Easter....going deep.

This weekend has been fun and busy. I'll post more on that tomorrow. Right now I just want to say I miss my dad.

I swear every time that I have to teach a lesson or give a talk, I learn more than I present out. Today as we went to church I realized how grateful I am for our Savior. I'm grateful for his Atonement and for all that he did, but I'm grateful for him giving us the gift of eternal life.

It's not the end. I have faith that we will be together again. I'm so HAPPY that he did that for me, for us.

Actually Cruz call it his "school" but you can figure out who the teacher is.After our lives finally settled down and we were able to get into a schedule, we finally started preschool. I've always been one to do it myself because of our crazy lives. This year we are working with a program called Frontline Phonics. Since Cruz missed the deadline by 10 days this year, I am hoping that he is reading (or close to) by the time Kindergarten starts next year. He has a love for learning and has loved doing his pages everyday. I originally started out only going to do preschool 3 days a week but since we started last Monday, it has been every day (as begged by the kids).

Katanya is in his class as well. I'm not focused on her writing or reading like Cruz but rather the letter recognition along with the sounds. She will follow Cruz in Kindergarten the following year. Wow, what a reality check when I realize that all my kids will be in school by 2011.

***The day we started pre-school, McKay and Kirsten were home sick. They felt left out and had to be included by doing the M page and coloring also. "They never get the fun stuff."
