Family First

We have done this a couple of times before, but never for an entire 5 days. You see, with Shannon's job, we never know when a vacation can be scheduled. For those of you who can schedule one whole year in advance........kudos! So where this is going is quite simple. Ainzli will be missing 5 days of school. I realize that there are some people who are dead set against this, I respect their opinion, I just don't agree. There may be a time when we can't do this (junior high and beyond), but then again, there may not. I believe that if your child is a good student and understands the rules about this "luxury" then you can take them out for family time all throughout school.

I always go the correct avenues; her teacher was aware a couple of weeks ago that "it might" work out, the principal told me just to confirm with him when we know for sure.

We know for sure! Yeah! We will be taking all of Ainzli's school work with us and she is excited to get most of it done on the way down. She is aware that there will be a couple of tests when she gets back and is just fine with that. She has assured me that she will have no problem with the tests. Let's hope the enthusiasm stays all through the trip!

We are hillbilly deluxe at the Grismore abode. Whenever we get a substantial rain a puddle forms at the end of our street. Wherever there is water you will find Ainzli, guaranteed! :)

Yes, that is correct, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a John Deere shirt and big pink flower in her hair. She is definitely a blue jeans with her pearls kind of a girl.
