Catching Up

Ok. We have now been here for three weeks. Let's get you all caught up with what we have been up to.

Campbell started school on March 5. School, of course, has been great. The school here is giving her much more of a challenge. Even the spelling words are more difficult. She had to take a spelling, math, and reading test so that they could group her. In SC they didn't do any grouping at her school, so this is a great improvement for her. Of course, in reading and spelling she has been placed in the top group. She takes after her father when it comes to math. Mommy is trying to change that. She does well in math and is in the middle math group, but she does not like it. So we are working on that. She has made a lot of friends, and has even brough home phone numbers. She is definitely adjusting very well.

Caleb seems to be enjoying staying at home with Mommy. His schedule is working great with Darla's work schedule. The days are busy but he takes a good 2 hour nap during the middle of the morning which allows for good work time. He has also learned to play really nicely by himself. He does occasionally love to sit in Mommy's lap and help with the typing though. He had a rough time with the time change but has finally adjusted.

Aaron has gone back to work and seems to be enjoying it. A couple of his Greenville co-workers were in town last week, so he had a night out. James even went out to dinner with the family one night. We all enjoyed that! He also started drilling with his new reserve unit here in Denver. It sure is nice to have drill close to home.

Work is going great for Darla. She still works for the college in SC but does it from home. Telecommuting is definitely the way to go. Being able to work in pj's is a huge plus. Not to mention that we save a ton of money in daycare since Caleb is at home too.

All in all, everyone is adjusting well. We do all miss our family, friends and Greenville as a whole. But we are making Denver home.
