Her Knight

Can't believe we haven't posted anything since Sept.  We missed the holidays and everything.  So much has happened!

Gwen and Grandpa went to the Her Knight Dance last week and had a great time.  I wish you all could have seen her when Grandpa came to the door with a flower for her.  You know Gwen, she made lots of friends that night!

All the girls were given pearls (real) at the end of the evening and a card that says Pearls are precious, valuable jewels and we want you to know that you are precious and valuable too.  Every time you wear this, remember that you are a precious child of God and He loves you very much.  May you walk in His love all the days of your life.  1 John 3:1  See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!

Wouldn't it be great if we could all remember that!

work, and school

Hi, I got a labtop, so now I can get on the blog at work, so i can actually write and read and think.
School is off to a good start for Ruben, he loves is teacher Ms. Schultz, shes the blue room teacher, he calls her ms soldiers. ha ha. He has met two really good friends, one from the Chex Republic, and a noy with a spiky mohawk, i dont know there names yet, that how he desribes them.
Gwen spends most of her day colorig, my chidren are obssessed with coloring books, they go through like three of four new ones a week. Gwen doesnot draw outside the lines, its very wrong if she does. She tells my Im not careful enough.
Addi is doing well, her skin is finally starting to clear up, it was a rough summer for eczema. She is going to be a dancer, she dances and prances all over the house and only dresses like a princess.
Jensen is going to be a great babysitter, she helps my mother in law take care of three babies everyday, she rocks them and feeds them and tells them to stop crying, 'too loud'. she is also potty training herself she is very independednt and does not need any help.
Big Ruben is working as ususl but know he has time to play on three differnt soccer leagues sohe play all days sunday and Friday and Tuesday nights, whish I had that much energy.
Im loving school, im taking 15 hours and I will start my praticum in the spring. Im enjoying this college thing much more know that I am older and more focused. The kids are adjusting slowly to me being gone more, but I get to have lunch with them everyday, and sometimes they come to work with me so then we get to hang out.
Work is really relaxing most of them time, I get to do homework, watch tv and do laundry of course, but its a good job for know. Well we love you all.

Were in

The door is finally on and we moved beds in last night. We spent our first night in the yurt. Everyone was busy til bedtime putting thing away in their rooms. We slept ok, we just need to get used to all the loud nature sounds. The kids decided they wanted to get up at 830 and go for a run in the morning. We let them sleep til 9 and they all went for a run even though none of them had any shoes with them. They ran in their bare feet and , cooled down in the stream when they got back, we had pancakes for breakfast and everyone did their own dishes and made their beds before we took off to do laundry for a while. a few things are left in the house that we still need to move , then we just have to get it clean before we can be done with it. Yuck, what a job,
Have a good day love Sandi
