It's been awhile

Things have really got moving around here and I've put off the blog. So, here is an update since Cammy's birthday.

Jim's good. The kids have really been enjoying the Bible stories he reads after dinner. Okay, we all do. I like to hear the story and then read it in the Bible.

Speaking of Bibles the sermon Sunday was on the book of Ruth. I love that book. It's a beautiful story.

Alex is on the countdown to his 16th birthday. He's really excited. I am too in a way. It's a special year. Things start changing and it's a real growing period. I'm looking forward to going along with him on this journey. He's taking science at the co-op and enjoying it. Wednesday he is going to the community center for a teen summit and they will have seminars and lunch there. He likes his library at the Renton library. He goes every Thursday. Sometimes there is a teen advisory board meeting, sometimes they have their teen game day. Most of the time he just loves to go and read. He also enjoys playing soccer again.

Cameron is the super busy one. Which is probably not surprising. He thrives by going, going, going. He's still doing group therapy on Mondays. Tuesdays he is now doing basketball through the community center. Wednesdays he takes an art class with 4 other homeschool boys his age. Friday he has a class at co-op, too. He's playing soccer with Alex, too, on Saturdays. He's also going to be starting swimming lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays. That was gift from Janelle for his birthday.

Now me...I'm great. I weighed myself today and in 3 weeks I have lost 14lbs. YAY! I don't see it with my eyes, but I can tell with how my clothes fit. Sometimes it is hard watching my points and others not so bad. My goal is to just not give up. My body is a temple of the Lord and I need to treat it as such! I'm also doing a lot of homeschool work with the boys. I'm a lot more involved with both of them this year. We're using new curriculums for Alex and they are very good, but require a little more from me, which is fine. I am a homeschool mom after all! ;) Cameron's a matter of remembering that I am the parent and he is the child and keeping my patience. He gets better the more it is a routine.

There is our update. I'll update again after the birthday party on Friday night.
