Musings along the Way

Hi there!

Posted in Family Life

Just a quick update, in case anyone still wanders over. :o)

I'm almost halfway through the pregnancy and FINALLY starting to feel better. *whew*  We had an U/S at 9 wks - there's only one this time. :o)

Our vacation to KS/MO was WONDERFUL!!  Full of fantastic memories and fun times.  We met some GREAT people (internet friends) and toured some interesting historic sites.  And you CAN take a family of 10 on a 2000 mile road trip for 9 days and not only survive, but ENJOY it!  (OK, well - minus the torrential rain, ticks and tornado sirens).

Bug is 14 now and bigger than I am.  He spent 1.5 wks in MA with the grandparents and had a BLAST.  He took his CAT test after finishing 7th grade and did very well.  He's using Further Up and Further In and is, sadly, bored silly. *sigh*

Butterfly is 12 and continues to expand her horizons.  She'll be going to ME/MA this fall for 2.5 wks with my mom.  We have GOT to find something that works for her to teach her to read, though.  She's still at about a 1st grade level and FRUSTRATED.

Bunny is 10 and playing soccer again this fall.  Loving all the new friends she is making!

Bee is 8 and still as crazy as ever!  She's very happy to have moved up with the "big girls" for school (we're using Prairie Primer with the 3 girls).

Bear (5) is having fun learning to read and doing FIAR with me.  He is still the Funny Man in the family and is very precocious!

Kitty is 3 and is just starting to come out of that screeching-at-everything stage.  Thankfully!  She is talking more and really getting to be a lot of fun!

Lamb (Ape-Man) and Puppy are DEFINITELY double trouble!!  At 22 mos they are a BLAST!  But I should have named them (Messy) Marvin & Dennis (the Menace) - names that fit them perfectly!

OK, so we're off to the dentist.  For all 8 kid check-ups.  Pray for me if you think of it, will ya?

I love what you are doing for school. We are doing FIAR and Story of the World this year. But I plan on using Prairie Primer next year or the year after that.
blessings,
Dawn
