Dear Richard
I was telling the kids this morning
(before your email came through reminding us) that Friday is 1 year since you
left. It has gone quickly!
I was lecturing last week, and I feel like
it was one of my best sets of lectures ever J We also had a
student evaluation that was done last week, and all of the comments about the
teaching and lectures were very positive! I feel like things are really going
well in my course right now J I also had one
of the more experienced lecturers visiting my lecture to give some feedback,
and I think she was largely happy with what she saw. I’ll be getting some more
detailed feedback from her later this week. My tutoring is also going really
well at the moment – I feel like I’m making progress with my teaching in
general J
We’ve started planning for Joshua’s
birthday party, and we made good progress on sorting out the kids rooms this
week J The bedroom is pretty much sorted out,
with all of the kids clothes being moved over, and we’ve moved all of the
puzzles and games from the shelves in the lounge into the cupboard in the
playroom. Things are coming together! I want to do a few more things to help
organise the playroom, but I’m happy with how things are working out J
We had a couple of friends over for the
kids to play with on Friday – one in Joshua’s class and one in Hannah’s class.
We’re trying to help Hannah to settle into her new class, and she’s taking a
while! But she did end up interacting well with her friend, and I think it was
a success in the end J Then we also
went to a party on Saturday where all 3 of the kids were invited, and that was
fun ;)
Caleb’s been really sick yesterday and
today and we kept him home from church and school… Mom stayed with him
yesterday, because I was teaching in Sunday School, and then Andrew and I took
turns today staying home from work. We’re really hoping it doesn’t spread to
the rest of us! But church was so easy with only a 5 and 3 year old J And Josh and Hannah behave so well in
sacrament meeting when Caleb isn’t there to distract them ;) And church was
just really great in terms of all of the lessons and talks as well! In RS we
were talking about the sacrament and I felt the spirit so strongly the whole
way through! In Sunday School we were talking about Isaac and Jacob and instant
vs eternal gratification closely linked to marrying in the covenant. I feel
like the YSA were benefitted by the lesson. And then in sacrament the talks
were all on family home evening, and some ideas of what we can do.
For FHE today Josh shared some of the
things he’s been learning in Primary, and then Hannah also wanted a chance to
talk about what she knows about Jesus and then Caleb also just wanted a turn to
show us a book or picture. It was a really cool lesson J
Anyway, that’s us for this week!
Love you lots, keep well!
Shelly
