Well we heard some news today. We got a phone call from St. Michael's and were told that they would have a spot for Marisol next year. I was happy to hear this and also relieved. It has been a difficult decision but at the same time we know that with what is currently happening at Marisol's school is unacceptable and there is no way she can stay. We had put it in God's hands and are happy that everything is working out. We plan to tell Marisol in April. She doesn't need to know right now. Any of you who know how kids think, the end of the school year seems like it is an eternity away so to tell her now wouldn't be a good idea. I am excited but I was a bit upset because I know that she will be initially sad that she is leaving her school. It's a temporary thing but there is that part of me that just hates that I will have to cause her any pain. Tom tells me that we have to make a decision that is best for her in the long run. When you think about it, we only have 10 more years with Marisol. Really, that isn't anything. So we need to make sure that she is taken care of the best to our ability. I have no concerns about her making friends or doing well in school. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I just can't tell her why she is having to leave her school. I know one day I will have that conversation with her when she is older but not anytime soon. Her dad and I are going to sit down and talk about how we will tell her about going to a new school next year. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue with all of this. I just ask God that he give me the right words.
I met with the person at Marisol's school that is in charge of admissions. I told her that Marisol would not be returning next year. I layed it all out for her and told her everything that has been going on with Marisol. How the school's lack of support and reaction has lead us to make this decision. It was a hard discussion to have because I knew that this was making it all final. No turning back, you know? I do feel that we are making the best decisions for Marisol but there is that little something in me that is scared of the unknown. With my staying home next year and with Marisol starting at a new school we will have so much transition. It's scary.
I hope you all are well and Happy Leap Year day!

Hi!! I am very happy for you (and sad for you all at the same time!) I know that it is hard to make transitions like that but you have handled it very well. And God always comes through for us! I know that I was worried about Thomas being home all the time. But with paying a babysitter to be home with Mary Jane, I couldn't afford to send him to preschool like I did Joseph! And then, one day, they opened up a free preschool at Joseph's school!!! It started 1 week later, and is 4 days a week. He rides to and from school with Joseph! It was an answered prayer...Thank you God for taking care of us...
Thanks Margaret. I appreciate your kind words and you keeping us in your thoughts in prayers as we approach these transitions in our lives. Hope to see you sometime soon.
