Life along The Way with the V's

What's the buzz??

Well there isn't much that is new here.  All the little ones are sick, some with viruses others with colds.  This is the parenting part that is not fun!  The baby had his first fever last night.  Poor little guy.

Volleyball started for the boys.  They are really enjoying it.  They will likely be on the team and play in the tournament which is quickly approaching.  The kids are all trying to decide if they want to continue in cadets or do something different instead, like volunteer at an old folks home.  We'll see what is decided, either way we want them adding to the community in some way that is beneficial in more ways then just having fun.

Hockey is back on and in full force.  M has found some new vigor and has decided to actually play hockey this year rather than look like Eeyore on the ice!  YA M!  D is doing his best to get better at stick handling and is determined to make it to rep hockey next year (all because he wants to be able to check!  LOL!!)  N is desperate to play too, so R made a commitment that we will get his skating skills up this year and he too can join hockey next year.  Soon my life will be run by stinky sweaty boys in hockey shorts!  LOL!

The bird is feeling better. We discovered that he is/was depressed.  When he was sick we had to remove all his toys and keep him very quiet.  So he is missing all the daily interactions with the family and his play things.  We are going to integrate him back into the house activities a little at a time (so as not to overwhelm him).

I am tired, no sleep catches up real fast when there is so much to do each day. 

I however, stay firm and steadfast in the faith no matter what my circumstances!  God is good!

Blessings~~~
