Let's try this again!

Why hello there! It sure has been awhile!! I thought I would get back into the swing of things and start blogging again! I've missed it! The Baca's have been very busy. A quick run down. We have been having so much fun! We had a very busy and eventful summer. Degan turned 5; Cruz turned 1; Prestyn started using the potty; Amos started a new job; and me, well I have just been trying to keep up, oh and I graduated! With Degan turning the big FIVE it meant one thing. Time to start preparing for Kindergarten! This was a big deal and brought with it many unanswered questions? The most important unanswered questions? Where in the heck are we going to send him? We toyed with the idea of sending him to a catholic school, private, and public, but were still not sure how any of them would work out? One day I was driving to meet my parents for the boys and I saw a billboard for a NM International School. I looked it up on the web and was impressed. We were asked to attend an information session the following week. We did, and we never turned back. We are so excited that Degan was able to be enrolled in this school and only 3 weeks into the year we are in awe. See, Degan will be expected to speak, write and read in Spanish by the 4th grade. Which means, you guessed it, he will be bilingual! Degan has adjusted pretty well to having to wear uniforms, waking up at 6 am everyday, and most importantly re-learning everything he has been taught to him in Spanish. Now if we can get him to take something other then a jelly sandwich for lunch everyday. He is so picky!! The first day I tried to trick him by mixing the peanut butter in with the jelly and when I picked him up he let me know how it didn't work. In his words "mom don't ever give me peanut butter again!" Sigh....well we are working on adding some variety. Luckily he likes most veggies and loves blueberries and yogurt. We will work on the main course as the year goes by.
I will try and post some first day of school pictures of a very unhappy Degan when I have a free moment!!
Like I said I am going to try and keep up with the updates as much as I can. Next up Prestyn and Cruz. I am so excited!! These boys light up my life, keep mommy and daddy very busy! I am also very excited to debut my new blog for my crafts that have been keeping me busy! I have done a lot of re-purposing and have so much fun turning "nothing into something!" This should be in the next week or so!! Stay tuned
