It has been a long time since I've posted here! I wanted to let everything settle down for a while. I'm glad to report that for almost 2 weeks now we haven't heard anything from the "other" family. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. We left it to God and I know his will is being done. Homeschooling is going great. With all the termoil going on this past month I am very surprised on how well the kids are handleing this now. They love homeschooling. Frankly so do I, I am learning so much right along with the kids. So we feel like we hit a homerun in the ball park of life. We are finishing up the year with Unit Studies. My husband and son are going to start on next week on the history of sports. It is a real good study. I thought it was something that they could both relate to. The girls and I are starting the American Girl books. I am VERY excited about this. I have a lot of activities planned for this. We purchased a couple of the AG cookbooks and craft books. We are also going to do a lapbook on each doll we cover. Our lapbooks are different than most. Buying the file folders for them was getting to be expensive. So we bought a huge lot of heavy paper (almost card stock but not as thick) and are putting it all in a 3 ring binder. Its almost notebooking but in more of a lapbook format. If I ever have a free moment to figure out the uploading of pictures here I will post pictures. I went for my physical that is required by the ambulance corp I volunteer in. Well to make a long story short I have been having some pain in my back that goes down my left leg causing my foot to go numb. It has been bothering me for a while now. I thought it was just due to my weight. So I brought it up to my doctor. She ordered xrays which showed a narrowing of the spine. She then sent me to PT 2 days a week and I had to have a MRI. Anyone who has been through one of these can relate to what I am talking about. It was the worst experience of my life. I am by no means afraid of small spaces. But 40 minutes in a "doughnut" was a bit much. I'm still waiting to hear about the results from my doctor. We will see. My PT says he is confident that PT will be enough along with loosing weight. Anyone who has had to do that knows that it is not easy. I've been in prayer a lot over this also. The temps are in the 70's today!!! We did school outside today. I couldn't sit inside at all. The feel of the sun felt so great. I love it when it is in the 70's! I did my devotionals outside this morning and it was so peaceful listening to the birds and spending time with my Father. Ok time to get back outside. Enjoy the nice weather.
