Jan 11th- Jan 24th

Hi everyone, I am getting better its only been what 13 days since I bloged last.
Everyone is doing great. Halie had mid term exams last week but she was exempt from every class since she had good grades and very few absences.
Sierra made A`s and B`s again and Halies report card hasnt came yet.
Weekend before last Sierra spent the weekend at Stacys and Saturday Ryan and I got up and headed to Dennys had some breakfast and then just hung around Denton waiting for time to go watch a movie, during that time Jordan drove to pick up Halie and brought her to Denton to watch a movie and then we all went and had lunch. We went to the mall and let them walk around until it was time for him to go home. Sunday I think we hung around the house all day. The next week I went to visit the school in Grapevine that we had been told about. I was very impressed with all the teachers and especially their phlosophy for working with kids like Sierra. They put all their money into the kids and paying good salaries to the teachers. The school is in a little strip center I passed it twice before I even saw it. They have about 25 students max. They have class on a regular schedule like the public school district with holidays and summer break about the same and they only go three days a week Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. Which is great because its over an hours drive one way. But its worth it. I totally believe its the best things for Sierra at least for the next 2 years. We are going back in two weeks so Sierra and Ryan can look around and then fill out the paper work, write a check and she is in. Hopefully it will only be for two years then she can go to Pilot Point High School we really dont want her to miss out on things like prom and homecomings and stuff like that. And Halie will be driving next year so I dont have to worry about getting her to and from school and practice. The school has also offered me a aides job and to help out with the new Sign language class they are hoping to start next year. ( I am still thinking about that).
Last weekend we went camping at Lake Murray in OK. IT WAS FREEZING. It was almost too cold to ride (I said almost) We mainly sat around a fire and talked about the times we had been there before and how much we enjoyed it and how quickly things change. Dad was also camping in another section of the park and mom came up for the weekend so they came over and had dinner with us Saturday night. Sunday we left around noon and headed home with a small case of poison ivy. I have pretty much spent every day with Ryan this week. Which we all know I love that. I know when Sierra starts school all that will end. Looks like we are in for some nasty weather tonight the kids are hoping they close school Friday but I am sure it wont. Not sure what this weekend has in store for us but I am sure we will think of something.
Hope to see all soon.
