We finally heard back from the Montessori school.  They don't give full scholarships, but we were awarded the highest amount they give for both Samantha and Kit! It will be a challenge, but with some cutting and creative financial management, we are going to make this work.  Today I called and accepted the offer.  By this afternoon, I got an email confirming that they sent us the contracts and emailed a flyer with summer playdates for the students.  This is going to be an awesome, awesome thing for my kids.  I am so totally over the moon!
