Well since my last post, Maggie has come home to school at home with OHVA too. So it has been busy around here. We set up a classroom and got all the supplies and we are off and running! It has been lots of fun so far. Luckily we enjoy each others company. We are together A LOT. The two other boys said NO WAY! That is ok because I think I would freak out with two more kids to school. I would probably just handle it but it is nice to start slowly.
Jacob is doing great in his classes so far. Straight A's with the exception of Spanish. I hope he doesn't have my language gene...hopefully he has Steve's. One semester of Latin was more than I could handle.
Doug finished up his Cross Country season. He did well. He seemed to really like it and he wants to do it again. I hope he runs track this spring.
Curtis is Curtis. Pretty happy go lucky. He is playing soccer this year, but is considering football next fall...he should he is about 2 inches and 10 pounds heavier than the bigger kids in his class. He is SOLID! As Steve says..."ya can't teach them to be big"
Maggie is playing soccer too. She wants to start flute lessons. Hopefully we can make that happen too.
One more week and soccer will be over...yeah! Hip Hip Hurray!
The best part is that I am going to the temple on Sat. I haven't been in a long time. So I am looking forward to the peace that is found within the walls. I am driving so I hope we don't get lost! I also hope it is easy and I can feel more comfortable making the trip.
I was really hoping for a temple announcement in Kirtland, or at the John Johnson farm...two church sites that are close. I am greedy I admit it. I can't even imagine living in Utah where there are temples less than a half hour apart. That would be awesome. It would be like zipping out to the store...as opposed to 2 weeks of rearranging schedules, dealing with kids, finding time to be gone all day. Plus gas money to travel.
Oh well..I will stop whinning about it...
That is all for now. I think Maggie is about ready to get started on a new lesson.
This year will be an awesome year for your kids, and for you! Sounds like everyone has found there pace, and is off and running.
ReplyDeleteHow was the temple? You are correct, we are so lucky and blessed to have temples so close here in Utah. I try never to take that for grantid.
Hope this week is a great one for you and the fam. :)
We used to live within ten minutes of the Mesa temple. How I took that for granted!!! Now we live forty-five minutes away from it and it is SO. HARD. to go. And I don't even have kids! Once they come along, it'll be even more difficult to go.
ReplyDeleteWe just went last Saturday and did sealings. It was so beautiful, as always. :) Reminded me of how grateful I am to be sealed to my husband and sweet angel baby.
They're building a temple close to us in Glendale/North Phoenix but it's not going to be completed until 2013! I wish it could hurry up.
It sounds like things are starting to settle down and get into a good routine at your house. I'm always glad when that finally happens! :)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your Temple situation. Until we got our Temple in Snowflake about 10(?) years ago, we had to travel to Mesa 3 1/2 - 4 hours away. It is still hard for us to go with our temple being 1 hour and 15 minutes away, but it is doable. It does take some planning though because we only have 4 sessions/day (except Sat. has 5 I think.) and two of them are appointment only. It is really hard to find a day where I can be gone for 5+ hours and work the session time out with my schedule...
Anyway... I ramble way too much. How far away is your temple from where you live?
