Lex and school

I went to register Alexis for school yesterday and found out that the high school she was supposed to go to won't accept her because of her grades from her previous high school. This was a bit upsetting to Alexis. She will be attending the alternative school here in this district for the rest of the school year. This will allow her to make up all the credits that she is lacking from last semester (and no laptop)! I think it will be a very good thing for her. I, of course, am a little worried about the influences that may be involved by attending an alternative school. I think (hope) that she will be okay. I don't think she will be follow those that use drugs and all the other bad stuff that can go on. If she does well here, she will be allowed to join the "normal" high school for her sophomore year. Only time will tell what will happen there. I think she may find out that if she can stay out of trouble, the alternative school might not be such a bad thing. She should be able to actually graduate high school a little bit earlier if she stays at the alternative school. Please keep her in your prayers as I know you guys always do. I am sure that she will be fine and will do well.... Talk to you all soon!! Love you!

Latest catch up

This was taken just before one of the girls that works for me and I were getting ready to go out for her birthday.

So, I had very few tools to use when I moved into my apartment. I just couldn't turn down the cute pink tool set. I just had to have it!!

I'm really thinking this child needs help!!! lol

We are finally pretty much settled into our new apartment. We are very happy and loving it. The hardest thing to get used to is not having a washer and dryer at my disposal. The laundromat is just right at the end of my building, but it is an adjustment. I love doing laundry SO much, too, so that doesn't help at all!! lol

Bailey is still continuing to do well in school. Her behavior, no big surprise, is a challenge for her at times. The biggest problem that she is has is staying quiet. I wonder where she gets that from?? Must be her younger cousins, Jessie and Jodi. Couldn't be her Mom or big sister!!

Lex is doing well, too. I somehow managed to lose her birth certificate between my moving this summer so she hasn't started school down here yet. I should have it within the next day or so. She will be going to school at Fountain/Fort Carson High School. She is really looking forward to getting started. The school district that she wil be going to issues laptops to all their students. She is excited about that! I don't think she realizes quite yet that she can't use it to web surf or play on Myspace!! lol

Anyway, that is pretty much the latest update on us. I have attached some pics of the girls that we have taken over the last month! I love and miss you guys bunches!!
