Weekly Wrapup

Posted in Weekly Wrapup




From the Heart:
This week was a hectic one for me.  I didn't do as well as I wanted is putting God before other things.  I missed my quiet times and jumped right into the day rather than spending time with Him first.  That is something that I'll be working harder towards doing next week.

On the Homefront:
This week was hectic like I mentioned earlier.  Monday we took our 3 yo for his cardiologist appointment.  Everything is looking great and they will go 2 years between checkups.  YAY!!!  Looking at him now, it's hard to believe that he has surgery for Coarchtation of the aorta as an infant.  God is so good!  After his visit we went to pick up the other boys at my friends house.  She invited us to stay for lunch so we visited with her for awhile.

Tuesday was our homeschool support group's park day.  The boys had fun playing with their friends and I enjoyed getting to know a new family that joined our group for next year.

Wednesday we did our library runs and our 10 yo's guitar lessons

Thursday our 10 yo had an orthodontist appointment and I had a hair appointment.

Friday we got together with friends for a "sports day" the boys learned about basketball and horseshoes.

Saturday - we had a cookout tonight with friends.  It was so much fun to get together with their whole family.  We need to do that more often.

In the School Room:
We aren't officially doing school.  We will start back the end of August but the boys are doing some teaching textbooks math each day.  Also I am sure that we could have counted the sports day as school as well as some other things that happened this week.

In the Literary Scene:
I still haven't started any books.  I am reading through Spell to Write and Read because we are starting that program next year.  But I am not reading any "fun" books at the moment.

Healthy Living:

Still need to start my exercise regeme.  I am doing well about not over eating.  Still need to work on the comfort eating.  


Weekly Verse:
Deuteronomy 10:12-13

Now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?  (NIV)

I hear you on the reading. I've not read one book for fun as I'd planned at the beginning of the summer. I, like you, have completed alot of reading as preparation for school this coming academic year, and I've read to the kids, but I've not read through any books for pure enjoyment. I think we will begin the week of August 10th--two weeks in front of the public school kids.

I often struggle, as I said in last week's homeschool wrap-up, with trying to be too many things to too many people, and I lose me and God in there somewhere. You're right--it is a constant war within ourselves that we must surrender over to Him. Him first, everything else will be added.

Praise God for the health report on your child! He is able! Enjoy the day.

I think it should be a full-time weekly verse, don't you?

Praise God about your son's checkup! Amazing. I'm praising God about our children's health lately too.

I'm glad you joined the wrapups.
