Sunday

Such an exciting day....not really.  I have spent most of the day working on a couple take home drug tests.  I should have spent some time studying but I think that will consume my day tomorrow.  Let's see, what should I talk about.  Several times in the past few days I have thought, "Oh, I should blog about that" but I haven't done it so this is going to be just a bunch of randomness I think. 

First of all, I have been delaying starting an official spelling book with Ian until he gained more of a foundation with the basic phonics.  This past week he came across his spelling book and wanted to start so I agreed to let him.  He was overjoyed to be able to write his word list in a notebook instead of doing his work in a "workbook".  The first day he just copied the word list but he did a great job and his handwriting was really neat.  The next couple days he practiced the words and did a couple of the little exercises in the book.  Thursday night he did his first official spelling test and he made a 100%.  He was so proud of himself and I was proud of him too.  Now he says he can't wait to get to the big words!  He has also made some progress in his math.  Math has been his stronger skill so far but he is starting to transition from using his fingers or pictures to add to using the counting on technique. 

Momo is also doing well with her lessons.  She has been working on geometry in math and has had fun with that.  She got to practice using a compass recently and has been learning about circles, diameters, radius' and circumference.  She also learned how to calculate the circumference using PI.  She thought it was funny that Ian's birthday is on PI day ~ 3-14.

Kristen is working through her lessons too.  She likes to do several lessons in one subject and then the next day do several lessons in another one.  That works for me, as long as she is getting it all done.  She is such a big help to me around the house though.  I couldn't do what I am doing as far as nursing school without her help.  She keeps things together while I am away at class and clinicals.  She is counting down the days until she can get her learner's licence now.  I am not so sure I am nearly excited as she is about that. 

Aaron is still doing well at Global.  They are back on campus but haven't started back to their classes yet.  They have been doing their intern work and daily jobs on campus.  Aaron is also working with several bands within the group and helping with practices and the organization for them. 

One last thing.  I have a praise!  Randy was called for an interview this week.  This job will be a little closer to home and while it will still be shift work, it will be rotating shifts.  Please continue to pray with me that the interview goes well and God's will, will be done.  Also, the decision I posted about the other night was about a job possibility for me.  I submitted my resume tonight so please continue to pray for that situation as well.  I think it could work out to be a good thing and I am excited about it.

That's all for tonight, time to go snuggle with Randy and Ian, the girls are both at friend's for the night so it is just the three of us.....well, Grandpa and the dogs too! 

Sweet dreams!
