Doing things Anglo/American style!

What's up Doc?

   That seems to be the question of the week as I have one medical appointment for Miss Giggles and three for Mr Wiggles before the week is out! Yikes! The kids are actually healthy right now. These are regular health checks for 'looked after' kids (the politically correct term for foster children). Also, Mr Wiggles has some speach issues and some need of physio due to delayed development and those appointments are coming up now.

   We had Miss Giggles off for the last week on half term break. It is strange to have a homeschooling schedule and a school one running simultaniously. We did some fun outings all together last week and had some quiet days at home too. It was nice to have some time with her to concentrate on behaviour training and to have some fun together!

   We are also trying to book up a time to go to Bristol and visit Dh's Dad as he is not very well and we haven't been down since November! Life has just been too crazy around here. Anyway, we think we have pinned down a time and a place to stay (he is too ill for us to stay there with the kids - too noisy for him) so hopefully we can get that all booked this week too, for a visit over the summer.

   We are also praising the Lord for His protection of my brother Jewelry Guy last week. I got a call from my Mom that started with 'Jewelry Guy is OK but.......' That is never a good way for a conversation to start, is it?

   He works in NYC everyday and had just that morning got hit by a yellow taxi cab on his way to work!!! They had the paramedics out and everything. The driver had run his foot over and his his leg - throwing him to the ground. He was examined and there was no obvious injury but he went home early that night to get some rest. The real miracle and answer to our prayers was the next day when he woke up with NO PAIN OR SWELLING OR BRUISES WHATSOEVER!!!! How amazing is that, huh? Like I said we are praising the Lord!

   We have a busy week ahead so I guess I better get a wiggle on! If I get a few minutes between appointments I'll try to stop in. Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for visiting with me. When Mike/Amber were married my boys were 4 and 5 .... I am praying that they are still somewhat YOUNG when they become Uncles. :)

Your week looks pretty busy. Mine is too. We start VBS tonight. We are still working on school a couple days a week. :)

I was beginning to wonder if anyone read my blog at blogspot. :)

I like visiting with you too!

Oh, Deedee! We finally loaded that shepherd video - it took nearly 2 hours but, oh, we had so much fun! My kids and I couldn't watch it enough! Thank you so much for sharing that. Amazing! My youngest had to go to bed before it was done (she has swimming lessons tomorrow, early) so I think we'll load it again tomorrow morning during school so we can all watch it later. My son pointed out that the first name on the credits at the end is a "Griffiths" which is my husband's last name. Also of note is the fact that earlier this evening, we all watched "Wallace & Gromit - A Close Shave". the short film about sheep rustling. The little sheep in that film is called "Shorn" and he looks a lot like the sheep picture created in the shepherd video. So now you know how we spent our evening - immersed in sheep!

Thanks again - it was great!
Kate
