Thanks Todd

Thanks Todd for posting so often. It gives us blog junkies something new to look at when we pull up the blogs seven times a day.
Another week down at school. Our class this year is very chatty and it will take us a while to get that under control. They are doing a little bit better. I stayed at school until after 5 yesterday (the kids go home at 12:30) because I have so much to do. I even brought two tests home to grade after all that time. I am trying to do a better job with Science this year and that takes some doing. I am thinking about taking a class in a couple of weeks about Utah wildlife. Our kids are not great readers this year so we will have to work on getting those skills up and running. I have a mom willing to come volunteer on a regular basis so I need to get that set up. I will probably use her during reading time so I can have smaller groups.
Ya-ping has an enlarged kidney and will have an ultrasound on Monday. We should have a better idea then about what they want to do and how long it will take. I find myself wishing she would just come and have the workups done here in America. We do have lots of problems with our healthcare system (price for poor students being one of them) but it sure has it good points. I generally trust the doctors and hospitals here. We'll keep you posted.
