Catholic School??

On Sunday we went up to the local Catholic school’s Open House to see about enrolling Preston in Pre-K.  I really hope that he is accepted and that we can get some kind of financial assistance to help with the tuition.  I would really like it if we can get him (and Russell when he’s old enough) involved in the Catholic school.  I want him to get a great education and be exposed to the Catholic faith at school as well as church and home.

I filled out our diocesan financial aid application…  Wow, what a form!  I even had to attach copies of my tax return and W-2s!  At the school we were told that the diocese provides assistance, and then our church provides assistance, and after that, the school itself can offer a discount.  Hopefully we can get the tuition down to something we can afford!

Getting Involved

There has not been a whole lot of news in our family since we’ve moved, and that’s a good thing.  ”No news is good news,” as it were.  We have been busy getting involved with church.  I am now in the choir, and Donna has been going to the Mom’s group.  The kids are attending “school” at church two days a week. It is kind of a Pre-Pre-K for Preston I guess, and just a chance for them to socialize and for Donna to have a few hours off.  We’re going to look into getting Preston enrolled in Pre-K at the Catholic School that our church supports, though I kind of doubt we will be able to afford it…  I accidentally started going to a Dad’s Parenting class.  I thought it was a church class, kind of a Raise Your Children Catholic type of thing, but it ended up being a state-sponsored parenting class.  Woops!  But I’m going to keep attending for now.  I like to learn!

Camping Out in the Old House

I have to finish out the week at my current job, and instead of driving back and forth, we’re staying in our mostly empty house.

Donna and I are sleeping on the air mattress; Preston is on a camping pad; Russell is in his Pack-n-Play. Only three more days after today, and then it’s off to Papa and Grandma’s!

Preston at the Dentist

Yesterday, Preston had an appointment at the dentist.  I didn’t get to go, but apparently, he was a very good boy.  He let them clean his teeth even!  And of course, he had to make sure that they gave both him and Russell a toy and a new toothbrush.  Always looking out for his brother!
