I'm still kicking
...and sometimes screaming, too!
I completed my first semester back at college very sucessfully! I received an 'A' in both classes. I never did the Fast Track course. In the first sommer session, I took a Government class and Agebra. I earned an A in Government, but...we won't discuss Algebra. ;) I will say, though that 'D' is for diploma! (Thanks for that line, Alise!) This second summer session I am taking another Government course being taught by a guy who is two years younger than me! He has worn flip-flops to class twice!! He knows the material, though. He is a good instructor. I'm not sure if I will be taking classes this fall or if I will be taking a semester off. Life is getting hectic!
My seven year old will be re-entering public school this year. I'm very concerned about him. I'm trying hard to just wait and see how it goes, not expecting the worst. I keep thinking, "He's my baby!"
He was Baptized this summer! Last fall I read throught a gospel tract with him because he wanted to know what it was about. It had the Incredibles charater's on it. He wanted to do the prayer at the end, so he repeated after me. Later he did not remember what it was about. He said, "the only thing I remember is God said, 'it's O.K.'" Then this summer at vbs, he approached his teacher and asked her what it means to be saved. That night, he did definately accept the Lord as his Savior! He was Baptized the following Sunday, and if you ask him, he will tell you all about how to be saved. Actually, he'll tell you even if you don't ask!
The two year old has developed a huge interest in trains. His favorite is Thomas the Tank Engine. He gets upset if someone else is watching the TV, and he can't have his Thomas movie on. He does not like the idea of waiting for his turn. He has Thomas shoes, Thomas books, and a Thomas toy train. He will probably recieve more Thomas toys for his birthday and Christmas.
We are expecting a surgery for him this fall to do more work on his cleft lip/pallat. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I want him to get his surgeries and have his little face reconstructed. On the other hand, it is so hard to hand him over to the medical personell and let them work on him. It is hard to watch him go through recovery, and to care for him while he is so uncomfortable.
All will be well, though. I'm praying that God will get us through this stressful season!

Welll...welcome back to the blog world!!! We missed you. Honestly, when I saw your address this morning with the word "new" by it, I almost fell over!! ;-) Seriously, glad to know that things are progressing at home. I know that the decisions for medical care are so hard. I'll be praying for you all in that area. Hugs to you!!

Good to see you blogging again! It's pretty exciting to see your kids grow in their knowledge of God, isn't it??? I was so excited when my dd got baptized. I expect my son to go into the waters soon, and it's just a thrill.
Looking forward to more updates! ~A

I am so happy to see you blogging again!
I noticed on TMB today that you had the words updated by your blog address so I headed right over here!
I will be praying for your decisions with every thing.
Look into getting an IEP if you do not have one already!

I understand your concerns for your 7 y/o. I have those same concerns at the beginning of every year for all three of my boys. Today was the first day of school. So far I think this will be a good year.
Are you familiar with http://www.wrightslaw.com/ ? They are experts in Education Laws including the laws that help kids like ours. I have spent many hours finding information that I need from the site and have been to one of the seminars that they put on. It has helped me to learn the best ways to advocate for my children in the school system.
Please be in touch when you schedule the surgery for your two year old, remember that I am just up the road from the Hospital.
