Finally, an update!
The Gulland Family is doing well in our new home. If you need our new mailing address, please email me at prvbs31chick@yahoo.com.
David loves school, and he is reading at almost a second grade level. His teacher has him in an Accelerated Reading Program which he enjoys and is doing wonderfully in. We will be getting his second trimester report card next Friday. His first report card was fantastic, and we expect nothing less this time around. He really enjoys school, and we heard nothing but great comments about him at his conference.
We were very proud parents and thankful to God that He has given us wisdom in raising David. Is David perfect? Of course not because none of us are (This may be a big revelation for some of you. I know it was for me.)! David has things that he can work on. The biggest one being listening and obeying the first time. This is probably more at home than at school. As I think about this, I think about how I still need to work on listening and obeying God the first time he tells me to do something. As I model this behavior, I know that David will continue to improve. I was reading a parenting book this morning, and it said that a lot of parenting is caught not taught. SO TRUE! How many of you remember hearing, "Do as I say, not as I do." I sure do. I am determined to live before David the way that I want him to live.
Ed is enjoying his work with Rust Consulting. He is a project manager. He has moved to a different team which has allowed him to focus on using his strengths. I think it is a much better fit for him, and it allows the company to utilize his strengths.
I am enjoying being a work-from-home mom. I love being a Mary Kay consultant and helping women to take time to pamper themselves. It is great too because the priorities that the company teaches (based on Mary Kay Ash's life priorities): God first, family second, and career third are priorities that I want to live by life by. The company is a great fit for me, and I feel like I finally found something that I love doing (besides being a wife and mom which aren't paying gigs!) :-)
David turned six on Tuesday, February 26th. Can you believe it? We celebrated by taking him and three of his friends from school to the local bowling alley. A fun time was had by all. We will be having a larger celebration with more of his friends from school and church along with some extended family on March 8th. I will post pictures of both events as soon as I can.
Finally, I am on Facebook now, so come and check me out. It has been a great way for me to reconnect with people from high school and college. It has also been a wonderful tool for me staying in touch with friends from our church in Brooklyn Park and with my Mary Kay friends from other units.
Have a wonderful weekend!
