Catching up!

Its been a few weeks since I last posted, but have been busy still with homeschooling, paperwork, phone calls and Internet research pertaining to my mom. She continues to do well in the nursing home, but there continues to be stuff that needs to be done for her and I am so grateful I can do a lot of it from the internet!

Home school is going well, just seems like the day flies by so fast! Our middle son completed his driver's ed class and just needs to get his 6 hrs driving time in with the instructor and then he can go for his permanent license. He has his 60 plus driving hours in..so he hopes to be able to get that by the end of the year.
Middle DS plays drums for our Contemporary service on Saturdays(with his older brother!)
He also plays drums for Sunday Services at least once a month.

Youngest son is doing well in soccer. They are 1-1-1(one win, one loss, one tie). DS made one of the first scoring goals this year. Been getting a lot of rain here, hoping they don't get rained out anymore!

Oldest DS has been hard at work and college classes and has been taking time off occasionally, to go to some concerts of bands he has always wanted to see.(before they get to old and drop from the music world) DS has been playing guitar and leading periodically for the Contemporary Service on Saturdays and Spanish Service on Sundays.

DD has been busy with school and work. She did get a raise in her job after a year....they promoted her not one, but two steps at work! School keeps her very busy now that she is heading toward at Medical Assisting degree. Four classes this semester.
She also volunteered to help out in the Special Needs Sunday School ministry at church. I am so proud of her for wanting to help out in that class.

DH has been busy with teaching Sunday School, Chair ministry(responsible-along with 17yo DS-in making sure 400 plus chairs are put up every Saturday), he is involved in a Men's Prayer Group that meets at a local Chick Filet every Friday early. Plus he is helping with an event for the Men's prayer group at church for next month. We are going to see the movie "Courageous" as a family next Sunday then the Men's group is meeting up the following Saturday to discuss the movie. DH also is leading/hosting out 4 wk Bible Study here in our home from the *Yes series* . I am so blessed to have a husband and father of our children who is led by the Lord.

I get some crafting in when I can...just had a weekend away with some friends up in Lancaster a few weekends ago. Will share more in my next post!

Another fun weekend with my scrapping/card making gals! I look forward to getting together every year and catching up with you. Thank-you all for being there!

School begins!

After a wonderful rest filled weekend holiday weekend, today is our official day back to school!
We have a 22 yo DS working FT and going to college PT(Computer Information Systems- only needs seven more classes for his BS)
Also our 19yo DD works PT(Medical Assisting) and is taking 11 hours of college credit.
We have a DS in 12th grade who works PT and a DS in 9th grade this year in our home school.

All have been home schooled from the beginning...just seems hard to believe I am looking down the last 4 years of home schooling. Been home schooling since 1992.

Off to look at their school work from today. :-)
