Family Gathering Week

Lots of artwork coming home.  Joy made this especially for Becca.  Sammi brought home this piece to show us.  It has to go back to school.  Joy and Bella provided us with lots of decorations for the dining room!

I had both Joy and Bella's IEP meetings on Monday.  I had asked for copies of all assessments as well as drafts of the IEP goals.  I walked in to the meeting with old report cards, examples of work, and my desires to have most of the goals beefed up. I was so pleased with the meeting. They made all of the changes I requested. And I was able to stress how important it is to push my little Bella. She loves to rise to people's expectations, so if they are low, that's where she will stay. I was grateful to be in a room where so many where committed to helping my babies.

Jason’s parents arrived that day on Monday. 

After Family Home Evening on developing an Attitude of Gratitude.

My parents                              Since the kids still had school for two more days, they looked around.  On Tuesday I took them to see some of my favorite sights.
