We didn’t have any significant snow fall this week but enough to excite the kids. They’ve been braving the 25 degree’s daily for a few more chances to play in the white stuff....or breaking ice on the pond...or sledding on the wet grass :O) The wood cutting by Trav and stacking by the boys continues. Boy, we are so thankful for our wood stove! Jadin’s ice skating went great on Monday and he’s excited about all he’s learning. Him and Grandmother practiced before and after his lesson together.  I’m signed up for my next 2 Liberty University classes. They run March-May so I thought I should be able to sneak through those :O) I’m also toying with the idea of picking up 1 to 4 Charge Nurse days at a rehabilitation center about 10 miles away. All I’d have to work is 1 day a month and nurses are paid well for their time, so we’ll see. We’re still awaiting a foster placement and jump at the phone every time it rings.  We know God has the right one for us!  Zion started his 2^nd grade level "reading box" Monday. Out of 20 books he picked out one in the middle level, read it with no problem and moved onto the next. I see he needs more challenging books! Jadin is almost done with his reading level. I’ll be letting him pick out his favorite books and reviewing them before he moves on to reinforce his confidence level. He has made incredible progress forward, 2 grade levels in one year. This is why I’m so thankful for home schooling, we can celebrate the successes and take all the time we need with the challenges. We’ll, I’m off to go steal my quite Jesus time before the day gets rolling!
