• Update on Our Life

  Kara and Kayla are my first homeschool graduates CLASS of 2010. They will both attend community college in the fall.

  We have been overwhelmingly busy. I haven't had any time to journal. Most of my journal has been via pictures to my facebook account and mostly to remember things I couldn't bear to forget or. Notes to self.
  This was the first school year that we were involved with our church affiliated Private school. The girls ran cross country. David ran also. He played basketball, which we found out he loves and has a God-given agility for and flag football.
  Kara broken her leg last fall. She gradually healed over the winter. Started have stomach pains in February or March. We figured from the NSAIDs she lived on from the pain of the breaks. She was given ulcer strong ulcer meds, but has contiune to have stomach pains. She has been referred to a gastroenterologist. He performed an EGD(upper endoscopy) procedure on her on Thursday. We found out she has duodenal narrowing. We are awaiting scheduling for a barium swallow. Next visit with the GI doctor we will find out what to do for Kara.
  All of the children are growing taller.
  Kayla is a volunteer again this summer for Dancing Together, a free dance program for disadvantaged youth.
  I have been really ill. I was tested for Celiacs but it was negative and I refused to eat enough of gluten containing foods to get a positive result. So I mostly eat gluten free foods. I recently, like 9 days ago had endometrial polypectomy, they were all benign Praise THE LORD!!!
  After my "new" Nikon Coolpix had an early and untimely demise, I learned how to use my cellphone camera.
  My DH was laid off in February he is currently in pursuit of gainful employment. His thyroid issues are stable with him on the meds for it.
  Daniel was diagnosed with having Autism this school year. We also have him on special diet and he seems to be doing SO MUCH Better!!
  Samuel is doing well learning to read. He is such a small little boy. Noah was diagnosed as having sensory integration dysfunction or SI. He is my child that will scream if you touch him and covers his ears at "ordinary" or common noises. He has issues with textures of foods, clothing, and other things.
  Jesse is a very precocious rough and tumble very busy little boy. We are currently working on potty training. When I explained the process to him, he said no thank you I will just wear my diapers.
  Our animals are well.
  I am currently in the process of working on lesson plans for the fall. We are going to continue math through the summer and summer reading programs with the public library. We found some free movies offered once per week also.  Free bowling for some of the children. Looking for inexpensive places to swim and a way to have a vacation on little to no funding. I also have interior house painting I have been working on. I  want to finish painting before the end of June 2010.
  Ronnie and I had christian marriage counseling and are doing better than we have in years!!
