We have made the decision concerning Dylan's school next year. He will be going to a local charter school. While the hours are longer, we are all excited about the variety of teaching at the school. They really seem to have a flexibility in their teaching approach. There was an opportunity to send Jasmin for kindergarten this year. But due to the long day (it would be full day), we decided to keep her home this coming year. That was the original plan anyway. It's the last year with my baby, so I plan to try to enjoy it. That's easy to say in the abstract, but I know that I need to take the extra effort each day, each hour, each moment.

This week was spring break for our family. We truly enjoyed our time together. We relaxed a lot, hung out with great friends, and had lunch with Grandpa. We also enjoyed a trip to Rockford to the Discovery Center. While we were in town we went to the Burpee Natural History Museum. We weren't too impressed by it. By the Discovery center is always a hit. We ended that particular day with a trip to Culver's for ice cream and fries.

The last day of vacation we had some close friends stop by for pizzas and games. The kids then spent the Sat and Sun with their grandparents. It's going to be hard to go back to the routine! But less than two months and it's summer!
