Let's see...

We finished history for the year 2 weeks ago.  We are starting Science back up this week and will finish it in a few weeks.  I ordered their CAT's from Seton testing services and will be administering those soon.  I need to turn DS's in this year.  I will be sending those in to a repository.  We will also be participating in the HSLDA/NHERI academic study.  I did order a PASS test just to check it out as well, it has not arrived yet (and does not count in the HSLDA/NHERI study. 

DS9 went on a business trip to OH with his daddy last week and they returned last night. Daddy has a nasty cold so we are praying that the rest of us do not get it.  My parents were able to go to OH from VA for a night to see them, so that was a nice surprise for the guys.

DD, baby & I were holding down the fort and dealing with a tummy virus and on obnoxious dog ;)  The dog is getting better and even though anoying was for the most part a very good girl.  I gave DD part of her bday present early because I thouht it would be fun for us and I was correct, we played Horseopoly almost every night :)  Being the girls that we are we went shopping and bought all that she needs for the Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance but we need to try to find a mask, because it is a masqueurade ball, even though I am pretty sure they will be providing them.  i bought a new purse for me.  We bought Bubby some bday gifts (little Tonka trucks & 2 really big Tonka trucks) and some sippy cups - He LOVES the Spider Man ones :)

The baby will be 1 year old in 16 days (not counting today)!  We bought him a  pair of tennis shoes that he seems to like wearing when walking outside (he still holds onto us to walk).  He isn ow crawling up the stairs as much as he possibly can.  He put things to his ears to talk.  he dances to music.  I listened to familylife episode about 2 weeks ago and heard the moms from www.Momsoncall.com talking about their books.  So I checked out their site.  i bought their ebook about the older babies.  And since Daddy was away we tested out the 3  day theory on babies putting themself to slep.  You have to remember it has been almost 8 years since I had a little on here and Bubby is truly our sweet little baby and he sleeps in our room so it was easiest to lay down with him at bedtime.  Well, Friday night I turned on a waterfall sound on my radio after a bath, prayers and rocking time.  Then laid him in his bed.    After about 60 minutes of screaming (on his part) he fell asleep - after throwing all but 1 pacifier out of the bed.  The next night it took about 10 minutes and the next night he was so tired he fell asleep in my arms, last night it was after abotu 5 minutes.  I did not tell DH that we were working on this so it was a nice surpirse for him.  Ithas been nice, he is even going to bed a bit earlier. 

I am working on our schedule again since Bubby is going to bed earlier and has gone to 1 nap a day (his own doing).  We will be switching back to Weaver next "school year" too so that is playing into my schedule making.  I just hoewe can make it work because DH has been working really late nights for a while, he is talking about possibly bringing the business back home and we are still considering a possible move.  Please pray with us that god shows us what he wants us to do & where he wants us. 

We are going on a field trip to the newspaper in a few weeks and we are all excited :)

That is all I can think of for an update on us right now :)
