Where does the time go?

Wow! It has been a month since I posted last. Life in the Clark Household has been very busy.

Just before the New Year we went to the Ear Nose and Throat about Ashlynn's ear infections. They are caused from her tonsils and adenoids being enlarged. With one look at her tonsils the Doctor determined that they needed to be removed. We are scheduled for surgery on February 25. At that time, they will figure out if she will need tubes in her ears or not. She has been taking this like a champ but I am not 100% sure if she totally gets what is going to be happening to her. She seems very excited about the prospect of eating jello, ice cream and popsicles though.

Murray's vocabulary is growing tremendously. We are getting full sentences now. We are happy that we can finally understand what he is telling us.

My first few weeks back to school have been very hectic. In the first week back I had a student puke on my desk at school. Apparently she didn't understand that when we aren't feeling well we can just go to the bathroom and not ask (this was told to the class 2 days before). On my desk at the time was my Lesson Plan book. Which I had been constantly changing and adding notes to previous lesson, it was a total loss. Oh well....what can you do? Now my students in my English class are working on Digital Stories. They will actually be building them next week in the computer lab. I am very excited and this project has been in the works for well over 2 months. I am beginning to feel a sense of accomplishment with knowing the end is in sight.

We are also going to be doing some home improvement projects in April. We are totally gutting the kitchen. This will certainly be interesting....Stay tuned!
