Changes.

There are a lot of changes that will be going on around our house in the next 9 months. No I am not preggo, but that might be easier to wrap my head around. Let me give you a little history here.
When we moved to Shawnee about 2 years ago, Ron's grandparents, who we are extremely close with wanted to move as well. There were several family matters that had nothing to do with us that contributed to their decision to move. We all knew that this was not going to be a permanent move, they own there house where they moved from and have kept it. The plan was that they were going to move here until their health started getting bad then they would move on back and live in their old house and have a cousin take care of them. (this has all been set up for several years now)They have been talking about moving back for about 3 months, but the plans were in a couple of years, after Anderson got started in a full time school program.

Plans Changed.

Let me start by saying, I'm not mad, in fact I am very thankful. Anderson has got to stay with his Nanny and Pawpaw for almost 2 years now. Since we moved here he has not had to go to a daycare or be around people that I don't know. (one of the draw backs of moving some where new.) He has been able to spend Monday - Friday from 8-5 with 2 people that I know love that boy as much I we do! That is a very comforting thought. He goes on field trips to the grocery store, the hardware store, and is the only 2 1/2 year old I know that can tell you were Lowes, and Ace is. He does projects with his PawPaw, including building fence, laying concrete, working in the garden. These things you just don't get at daycare. But he is almost 3 and we have been around the idea of putting into a 3 year old preK program. Since Nanny and PawPaw got wind of this there have been a whirl wind of things happen in the matter of about 48 hours. Nanny found out that a cousin of hers that lives in Texas is wanting to move back to Shawnee to be closer to his family. He has come and stayed with them here in Shawnee a couple of times, and it just so happens they love their house here. The contract will be up in September so they brought it up and asked if they would want to sell the house to them? (the original idea was that he could get a rent house for a year or two and then buy Nanny and Jimmy's house when they decided to move) Well Nanny's head started spinning and she decided that if he was willing to buy it, they should just go ahead and move back and let them buy it in Sept that way it will be a smooth transition from one place to another for every one involved.

New Plans:

We are going this week to fill out an enrollment packet to a private school here in Shawnee. They have a really good preK program and if we choose to they go all the way through 12th grade. What we are thinking right now is leave him there through first grade then move him into public school. Anyway, long story longer. We are very excited about Anderson going to school, he is so smart anyway I am excited to see him play with kids his own age and start all the little arts and crafts for me to paste all over my fridge. I am praying for him to have a smooth transition, I think he will be fine, he talks about going to school all the time so I think he will really enjoy this! Its funny how things change and turn and you never know what direction you will be going in. I think that God some times has a way of giving you a gentle push to show you the direction He is wanting you to head in.
