February in Review

February seems to have been all about finding a our new normal with Boy.

*Lots of our free time went into making over Boy's room to be a bit more age appropriate. He got a new coat of paint and several fun additions that are more boy and more 7. Pictures to come later.
*Since all of our redesign stuff at the church was done, I felt a surge of creativity and felt ready to sew. I made Boy a new quilt for his bed.
*Boy's reading is growing leaps and bounds, and he's progressing well in math too. He came home at the beginning of the month with a great report card that showed encouraging progress since the beginning of the school year.
*Lots of appointments this month with different providers who will help us with Boy and his needs. Exhausting, but helpful.
*Dress shopping with my best friend! I wasn't there where Allie found the perfect dress for her June 1 wedding in Maui, but it was fun to be a part of the extensive search.
*I officially stepped out of my role as one of the primary teachers in our kids ministry. It feels new and different, but I'll focus less on teaching now and more on leading our team and connecting with families. Feeling a bit like a fish out of water, but I'll adjust - and I'll still get to sub so I won't miss out on all the fun.
*Did a little prep in the backyard to get ready for spring. Need to get into the front flower beds and weed!
