Camp Week

Well Julie is off at camp and we are just hanging out this week. To keep us busy through the week we are going to make some welcome home decor for Julie to see when she gets home on Wednesday. Julie has started being a mother's helper so she can get some experience for when she is old enough to babysit. She is very excited about it, and can't wait until she gets her babysitting training and CPR certification. I can't believe I am about to have a 6th grader, 1st grader, and pre-ker in my house! This year homeschooling will be much different than last year. I am excited to dive into the curriculum for the year though. The kids have been asking for school work as well. I would let them start, but for the review of last year I want them to do that right before they start this year's work. Seth is doing great health wise. He has been completely off all medications with the exception of the occasional precautionary doses for several months now. He is loving it! Paige is in the potty training process. She does well for a few days then really bad for a few days. I am not pushing it though. I figure a lot of kids are well into age 3 before they even start, and she is just 2 1/2 so we have time. Plus every kid is different. Peter is getting geared up for his next semester at school, and awaiting word on his discharge upgrade paperwork. We have been trying not to get our hopes up on an upgrade, but that is really hard! It would open up a lot of possibilities for our family if he gets it. I am doing my same old stuff just being with the kids and staying involved with church. I am not doing any classes again this semester and really in no hurry to go back. I want to finish my degree, but right now my kids need me more than I need a degree. I really don't plan to use it anyway I just want it so I can finish what I started. Ok well I guess that is my update for now. Peace!
