Another Update.....

Well, so much for being more current and blogging more. Ahh, the joys of a busy life.
It was not too long after my last post that we had yet another chin accident. This time it was Zachary. I joked that the hospital was going to call CPS on me for the same cut in the same place as my other kid just a few weeks apart. Anyway, this time I was trying to get the kids packed to leave to go camping. Zachary was exhausted as it was way past bedtime. Anyway, I had him sitting on the end of Rebecca's bed. He went to climb off onto her step stool that we keep by her bed and it had been moved out just a bit. He fell off the bed between the bed and the step stool and his chin hit the step stool and cut open. Long story short he ended up with 5 stitches and no swimming. Oh no! We had a camping trip out in the dirty and heat as well as a trip to Sea World where there is obviously a lot of water including a water park area. We let him go in the water with a waterproof bandage on. Poor guy. He did so good!!
What else has occurred?
Well, my little girl has started kindergarten! It was a tough decision to send her as we were really leaning toward homeschooling. She is just so far ahead of the K curriculum. But we decided to go ahead and try it out. Luckily we got a fabulous teacher. She had Rebecca tested the first week of school to determine what reading level she is on. 2nd grade. Rebecca seems to enjoy school. She is bored with the work at times but overall enjoys it.
She also is finally old enough to be in KFC (Kids For Christ). The format has changed this year and it is weekly instead of every other week. And we are doing a new program - "Bible Skills, Drills and Thrills". I offered to help and ended up being put in a position to teach the K-2nd grade. It is a lot of work especially prep work but Rebecca is happy I am teaching.
I am also still teaching Sunday School but have been moved to the Toddlers where they were in desperate need of a teacher. I also help out as much as I can at Rebecca's school. I read to the class on some Fridays. I help out in the workroom and basically volunteer for what I can with Zachary.
Rebecca also has started soccer. She does really well. Several times during games she has taken the ball all the way down the field. We need to work on her kicking it hard to make a goal. But she does well and really hustles.
She is also doing dance still. This year she was asked to be in an invitation only class. She goes two days a week. On Wednesdays she does an hour of jazz and and an hour of ballet. Then on Thursdays she does an hour of tap. So that keeps her very busy.
She also has joined Girl Scouts this year. She is a Daisy. Right now we will meet once a month then starting in January we will meet twice a month.
Oh boy, so much going on.
Got to run and finish getting ready for KFC.
