Back Home Again!!!

ok...sorry, long time no blog. We got back from vacation in Utah and we have been bogged down with getting back to life. School started again for me (erin) and the semester ended for the students. The students had finals, which means a lot of grading for me. Then a new semester began, which means a lot more lesson planning for me. Other than getting back to teaching I have been scrapping like a mad scrapper because there are a few contests coming up that I would like to enter.

George and Henry have started preschool at Sunshine Preschool. They enjoy their time there. Henry likes the great treats and George loves writing letters...EVERYWHERE!!! We had a talk about writing on the furniture...hopefully his writing love will be expressed on paper only.

You are probably wondering why the boys are attending Preschool now. Well, Mark accepted a job a few days after Christmas at T.M. Hogan (a benefits firm in Honolulu). In order to get to work on time (Honolulu is 33 miles from where we live) Mark leaves at 6:15. Work starts at 8:00 am. Eventhough the drive is long and bogged down with traffic, Mark enjoys the beautiful view of the mountians and the ocean. Mark also started his MBA program. He attends school from 6-9 Monday through Thursday. Needless to say, we only see Mark on the weekends (between his studying for school).

The rainy season has started and between the sudden downpours and sheets of rain, we enjoy the sticky sunshine. Life is good!

Congrats to Mark on his new job and his program starting! That's exciting - though it will be a bit stressful for a while I'm sure it will be well worth it. You guys are awesome! Good luck with all the crazies at your school.
