JUST in case anyone was wondering:-p
I can't believe I let 5 or 6 weeks slip away without catching everyone up on what was going on.We have been busy. Let's see:
On the School Front: we are plugging away. Ds2 is about done with his RS reader which is good, and we just finished the first book in God is Good Series. He doesn't like math cause "mom, I already know this" and doesn't feel it is necessary to do practice. Ds1, well, he wasn't thrilled that he after getting a bad grade on his math test he had to do ALL of the review problems. I think we solved the "just put an answer down" attitude. Reading is going fine, it's that English grammar. I tell ya, half the problem is me. I do not like grammar, I really gotta get myself in gear. We discussed fish the other day for science, but we are going to plant a garden and the boys planted flowers for me....that's science right?
On the Family Front: ds1 has just about outgrown every piece of clothing he owns, especially the pants....he is now officially at his daddy's nose (of course, daddy isn't the tallest guy in the world!! Asian blood!!), ds1 has become a great basketball player as well......ds2 is growing in leaps and bounds and ds3, well......he has started UVA treatments for his skin.....he had allergy tests (blood tests) done to determine what his allergies are (he looks like a walking scab!) dustmites and household dust were class 4......corn, milk, wheat and soy were class 1.........so we are readjusting some stuff now I guess, but he has gotten tall!!! Miss Anna Joy is 8months old, teething at the moment.....4 teeth mind you.....and now enjoys her freedom brought to her by cruising.........yup...she can pull herself up at the couch and make her way around the couch and most of the room really......she has basically skipped baby food and wants the real stuff!!!
On the ministry front: dh is in China again.....he left yesterday and will be gone for a week, he will be teaching doctrinal classes to church leaders.........we opened our unwed mother's home this week, it was a farily quiet opening though as we are not gov't registered which currently gives us alot more freedom.......Valentine's day a mom called me two hours after giving birth as she doesn't want her premie baby girl, baby girl is being moved out of PICU today and into the nursery!!! we have some other contacts as well........God is doing work in Taitung.....our two infants at our house waiting for the final decree for adoption, are still waiting..........the poor families in the USA are nesting and long overdue!!!
I guess that's all for now. I wanted to stop by and say hi and visit our friends here at HSB............hope I can attempt to keep up more.....attempt being the key word

I like coming over here periodically and checking up on you :). I love to read the work you are doing for the people. It's nice to see another bilingual homeschooler too. I get questions periodically about it, and I mention your blog as well as mine. I hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind me adding you as a friend on my blog. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/creativeplay .
