Weekly Catch-up Post

The last week has been intense. The newness of the new schools has worn off a little and we have dealt with a few new experiences.

-Zachary was in a class and a girl passed him a note and asked him he smoked weed. He said no. She asked him if he wanted to. He said no, he was a mormon and they don't do things like that. No big deal...(agghh!)

-Justyn had a friend from his old school tell some friends at his new school that he was gay and to stay away from him because he was such a freak. Kids can be cruel.... :(

-This has nothing to do with the new school but Kate was on the top bunk and the ceiling fan hit her face and knocked her to the floor. She looks pretty beat up and thought she was going to die. She came down the stairs pleading "please God, don't let me die, please God, I don't want to die." Needless to say Ken's attempt to be funny as he rushed in from work with his emergency gear bag from his patrol car and threw her on the couch and started to do CPR while exclaiming "she's going to die!" did not do much to sooth her fears as she let out a scream of shear terror. It was so funny but very traumatic for a little girl. Mean daddy!

-I finished my intersession class today. HOORAY!!! It was a 16 week class crammed into 4 weeks over Christmas break. My head hurts but I finished! Now three days to relax until I start my new semester of 15 credits on Tuesday.

-Shaelynne and Alexys are still loving their new classes and have made some really great friends.

-The boys are struggling a little more with making good friends but through prayer and patience, we know they will be blessed.

-Henry was discharged from developmental therapy on Tuesday. Yipee!!! Now just speech therapy twice a week. (and he starts preschool at the end of the month for two days a week).

-Ken's schedule changed from days to evenings. He is now working 4 p.m. to 2:45 a.m. four days a week. This new schedule will take some getting used to.

-After many, many years of playing the piano in Primary, I was released on Sunday. What will I do with myself?

-Ken and I also had to speak on Sunday in Sacrament meeting. Our topic was Family Home Evening, Family Scripture Study, Family Prayers, and Family Councils. We now have some new goals we are working towards. And we are glad that we won't have to speak again for a couple more years.
