Time....where oh where have you gone

This summer sure went by without us even knowing that it was even around. I started a dayhome and had 2 kids over the summer, however their mom was laid off so I am back to looking for more kids to watch. We were able to go camping one weekend this summer but then life got busy and we didn't have a chance to go again. I got season's passes for Calaway Park this year and we went a few times. Well worth the money spent so that is a definate must next year too. We had Brooke for the summer and she decided that she wanted to live with us permanately so we have a new addition to our family which we are all extactic about. However we are all adjusting to having a teenager living in the house. But things are getting easier and easier for all of us. Michaela had the hardest time adjusting becasue she was used to being the oldest and now she's not. She even told Brooke. "I used to be the oldest and you took that away from me". But even with that she's getting used to the idea. They are all growing up so fast. Sean is teaching Brooke how to drive. She's excited about getting her learners. The first time she went driving she was lucky enough to be able to follow a baby moose. Freaked her out a bit but Sean was able to teach her what to do and how to keep calm. The kids started school the end of August and they sure are loving it. Michaela and Logan are in French Immersion at Ecole Edwards and loving it. Michaela's in grade one and has Mme Trout and is first to say " NO she's NOT a fish". Logan has Mme Astrom and even though he won't admit it he likes her. You can tell by the sly look on his face. Michaela is already writting a lot of french and Logan is learning to speak it. It is amazing to see how much they've learnt so early in the year. Brooke is in grade 10 yes that's right we have a high schooler in our house. She was nervous at first but she's made a bunch of new friends. She's enjoying most of her classes and she really has a talent for art (much like her father). . We did family pictures this year. I was able to get Sean to take a few pictures with us, and for those that know Sean know how big of an accomplishment that really is. He HATES his picture taken.
Michaela had her 6th birthday this year abd she wanted to go to Calaway Park so she got to invite a friend and we went to Calaway Park. The kids had a ton of fun on the rides and the Park was all decked out for Halloween. I have been working out like a mad woman. I have completed P90X twice and am one week shy of completing Insanity. Now I have to figure out what I am going to do next. Maybe a combination of the 2. I have noticed big results and have started just recently to feel better about myself. I know there has been more but for now that is the important stuff
