Update...

We have had a busy week so far and I haven't been on the computer once since Sunday. Kevin is doing well. He is at work each day, mostly doing office things. His surgery will be Friday if all things work out for the hospital's busy, busy schedule. They are just swamped there and can't fit him in sooner. He's been in some pain and did hurt his finger yesterday and once today. He has some good pain killers. I can't wait until his finger is correctly together.

We have the busiest week by far this year. As you know we have to leave our van at the end of the drive-way. The sun was out today and it was windy but, we still have an impassable spot and will walk another week or so. Monday, the kids sang at the nursing home for Great-Grandma Gretchen and the other residents. It was real nice. Jordan organized the songs and sang a solo that was beautiful, made me cry. She sang a duet with Em, played guitar with all kids singing, played piano with kids singing, played a couple mandolin songs, played the violin and ended with some piano solos. It was a long day for her. She got real nervous right before we got there. We left there to drop boys off at home and run to the house and get my purse and camera (you know, running to the house meant 1 total mile!!!) and drove to Moorhead for a bridal shower for a dear friend, then walked home in the pitch dark (forgot a flashlight).

Tuesday, Isaac had a computer test for his supplements and all his numbers showed improvement again! Such a praise! His body is really taking over and doing the job again. He still has plenty of supplements but all so good for him; fish oil, digestive enzyme, multi-vitamin, etc. It all helps his body handle the medication and grow and heal. He ran all the way to the van yesterday.

Today was AWANA. Several kids stayed home because most all of us have colds from walking in the cold night weather. Lots of coughing last night and sore throats. Late night and cold walk home again for the rest of us who went.

Tomorrow, transcript boot camp. I'm going to a all day seminar on how to prepare a transcript for Jordan and the rest of the kids so that if they plan to go to college it will be written properly. Then, the home school convention starts tomorrow night with a used book sale. Friday and Saturday the convention is on with sessions all day to listen to and a vendor hall to peruse all the good curriculum out there.

Thanks for praying and thinking of us! God Bless your week friends!
