-Big Sis is having a great year in 6th grade. She has already changed so much this year both physically and personality wise. She is becoming an awesome pre-teen with a not so awesome disposition once in a while. We have decided to school her at home for 7th and 8th grade. She is not thrilled about it....but she is not totally against it either. She is feeling unsure....but I am okay with that.
-Baby Girl is still a blast. She is really SLOW to get teeth. She has 5 in front and one molar. I hope she will be filling in soon. In 3 days she will be 1.5 years old. She still sleeps in my closet. I tried one night to get her to sleep in her bedroom and after hours of screaming I put her back in the closet. It is her happy place. I don't have enough energy to fight it yet.
-Middle Sis is having a knock it out of the park year. She finally has 2 teachers that are challenging her and has lit a spark in her. She is such a people pleaser. She is loving her year in gymnastic.
Little Brother is doing great also. He is having a good Kindergarten year. I'm so thankful. I really went back and forth on whether I should send him. I think I made the right decision. I cried when I left his parent/teacher conference b/c she told me he was a very well adjusted little boy. (If you have had a child that has almost driven you off of a cliff daily for years you will be able to understand why hearing "well adjusted" was music to my ears.) He is really growing up. I am so proud of him and thankful that I was blessed with such a wild spirit!
Ben and I are running the rat race but trying to be very intentional with our alone time together. I am desperately trying to keep a connected family unit in this crazy world. We just hooked up the television again. I have a cell phone now. We have i-pods and i-pads..... we are running to 3 different activities
Lots of distractions. Things that distract me from the truth.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old is gone and the new has come.
2 Cor 5:17
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deu 6:6-7
I'm still working on the right balance. If you have some tips....I would love to hear them :)
