How Time Flies

Here we are over a year later and our daughter is blossoming like you wouldn't believe. We are visiting Donna's Mom and Dad in Bluffton, SC. It's been a big winter and fall with several "road trips" to the east and west coasts to visit family and friends. We just finished Juliyana's parent-teacher conference last week and the verdict is awesome. We are switching her to an elementary school nearer the house because she does not need any more ESL help. In her teacher's opinion if we kept her where she is and continued her ESL services she would just fall behind because she would miss 45+ minutes of classroom instruction 3X/week. At this point in her language development ESL is harming her more than helping her! We are very proud of her and the way she and her brothers are getting along and growing every day.
