Lillys very busy day

Lilly had a very busy day today. She started off by going to the Dentist. She was suppose to  go see a  dentist 2 weeks ago that took our insurance. I prepped her the day before and she was ready. We pulled up to the office  to find that i4 was closed. I was so frustrated  I called Gary with hyperventilating  crying. He told me to stay put. And he called the best pediatric Dentist  in Chattanooga, Dr Fred. Lilly got in to see him and her appointment  was yesterday. She was such a big girl. She went back with the nurse all by herself  and she let them clean her teeth all without  mommy  by her side. Made this mommas  heart a little  sad that her baby  girl is  growing up. Sge did great, got a  clean bill of  health.

After we went and pick up Cadi  from the Grandma's and came home and took a  nap. It was short  nap as Grandma and  Poppie  were coming at 3 to take up to the   Thrive Assisted living open house on Lookout to see Grandma J, who might be Lillys  best friend. She had a blast.

First day of Prek

Ready or Not

So we are prepared  and sorted for the first week  of preschool.

I know that you  might think, but its March, why are you  starting  already. Well the reason  is because  with a baby coming  in July i want to  give myself  enough  grace time to be able to get the 36 weeks  of lessons done by May 2017. We might  get done before  that,  but in actual fact it might take  us even  longer. That right there is the blessing of  homeschooling. We can  move at our own pace.

I am  getting  excited about this  new  adventure... and so is a little  4 yr old  i know. She watched me print out her work sheets for next week and  she was so excited.

A New Adventure

After LOTS of prayers (mostly on my side) Gary and I have decided that we are starting to Home school. This thought has always terrified me. I once thought that of COURSE I would Home school, and then We got married and I was pregnant with this precious life and I didn't want to screw her up. I was frightened that I would not be able to teach her to read, I mean I had to do First Grade TWICE cause I struggled to learn to read. I didn't want my failures to affect my children's education. But after looking at School Options for our now 4yr old I realized that maybe financially Private School was not an option for us and the Public School we are zoned for just is not an option. So Like i said, LOTS of Prayers, Gary and I are starting Lilly out with some Preschool. If it is successful then we will do kindergarten; and from there we will progress grade to grade. I am excited to have my girl home with me to help around the house as we bring baby Zoe home from the hospital sometime in July. 3 girls in 4.5 years. WOW. God is good. I always wanted to be a mom, and some days I do struggle with having a good attitude and being selfish about "I JUST WANT TO SIT and DO WHAT I WANT" but you know I prayed for these girls, I prayed for a Husband and the LORD has blessed me beyond measure and WAY more then I deserve and I grateful that I get to be their mother.

Home Schooling is just another blessing. I just need to now learn to be better with time management and with a New Baby, it will be a struggle to learn how to manage Teaching with nursing with discipline and raising these girls to be godly young Women who strive to please the LORD. And to be the one the influences their Thought pattern instead of a teacher or classmates is amazing. Gary and i have our work cut out, but this adventure is just that an adventure...and every adventure has bumps along the way but as we get use to a new schedule I believe that it will be a very rewarding adventure.

Cadi's Tubes and Adenoids

 So after 6 ear infections since April 2015, Dr Shah sent sweet Cadi to an ENT. Dr Greer is AWESOME and I highly recommend him to anyone needing an ENT. He said that she diffiantly needed tubes and her adenoids were very large so he wanted to take them out as well. So We headed to Erlangers Childrens Hospital Bright and Early and Lilly came to support her baby sister during this hard day.

Snuggles with daddy after the surgery

When the nurse came to get me to meet Cadi in the Post OP as she was waking up from surgery the nurse told me that she was mad as a Hornet. It took about 30 mins to get her to calm down. We were kept in the recovery room extra long because Cadi was wheezing after surgery and they needed to do a breathing treatment and watch her and make sure that she was ok before they would discharge her. She was finally released and we went to Chick Fil A and Krispy Kreme afterwards.  I am glad that it is over with and she now is doing so great.
