After three weeks of silence I suppose it's about time I write on here again! We have now been home almost a month...kind of hard to believe! Where has the time gone!?
The first week home the three older kids had the SBA testing required by the homeschool program we are signed up with. We did a day of practice testing at home, and then they spent the rest of the week with other students in their grade and a teacher giving the tests. They all seemed to enjoy the break from regular school! It also gave me a chance to finish getting things put away at the house and get myself organized again for school and life!
The next week we were off and running with school every day, speech therapy for Adams, piano lessons, writing class, and a few doctor appointments thrown in there just for fun! Adams had an ear infection that wasn't really bothering him a whole lot, but it was affecting his hearing. So we got him on antibiotics and it cleared up...he seems to be able to hear so much better now! Ann Marie and I both got hit hard last weekend with a nasty virus...she ended up with strep throat and I had a bad cold with lots of congestion. We ran her to the doctor as well and got her started on meds. Her throat was so painfully sore for many days, but she is doing much better now. I had a tiring week of fighting my cold and I still haven't kicked it completely...it just seems to want to keep hanging on. Maybe a little more rest might help, but I always seem to come up short on that! Amidst Ann Marie and I getting sick we also discovered that we had brought lice home with us! Such nice little friends they are to make their homes on several heads! So began our week of shampooing and picking lice out of the hair...fun, fun, and not like I had anything better to do with my time! But I believe we won this battle and hopefully the lice are gone for good! I think they were enjoying our company more than we were enjoying theirs! :)
Spring finally feels like it is in the air, and maybe summer might be not too far away. The last several weeks we were wondering if winter would ever leave us as we watched the snow continue to fall and such cold frosty mornings! We were bundled up with sweaters and wool socks just to stay warm as we did our school work each day! The kids are so glad for the warm sunshine, the longer days, and the melting snow. With the melting snow brings LOTS of mud which inturn brings muddy boots, coats, pants, and kids! Oh well...summer will soon be here, right?!?
