Hello again!  Well this week I turned in Week #7 of the My Heart Challenge reports.  It sure doesn’t seem like we have been doing this for 7 weeks.  It is almost becoming “normal” for us to go out and play around and not watch TV.  I am glad the TV doesn’t have feelings, because they would be hurt I am sure.

This past week we were very busy getting the kids out of school and to all of the end of year stuff that they have to do.

Leatha graduated from 9th grade, so there was an assembly and a dance for her before she got to go to Lagoon.  DSC_7796

Cameron got kind of gypped, he just got out of school.

Amelia got an award at her school for being a good student, so we had an assembly for that as well as a picnic lunch there in the school that parents got to attend.DSC_7911We had a dinner with all of the Grandparents to celebrate Leatha’s Promotion, and that doesn’t even take into account any exercise!  We didn’t get our 10000 steps every day until Saturday, but we did go to the park, and, while watching the kids, we used the playground equipment to do pullups, and some modified pushups and other strength exercises.  Then we took it easy on Sunday, waiting out the rain.  It is amazing how much we DON’T do when we can’t go outside.

Well folks, September 2012 is here and on the 4th, School claimed Amelia.  Yes she is 6 and big enough to go to school.  She is healthy and the doctors are good with her going as long as we take precautions.  Luckily, her teacher is very understanding and is helping keep things clean.

As of this writing, it has been almost a month and Amelia loves it!  She comes home every day excited about the new letters that she has learned and all of the fun stories.  She has been making friends and she just loves it!

Cameron is in 4th grade and learning that school gets more and more involved with each grade!  He has spelling words that even I get spell checked on, last week he had one of the same ones as Leatha!

Leatha is in 6th grade and in the advanced class.  But she is doing really well, her teacher asked her to be an assistant and help with putting papers in the files and passing things out.  She is also playing her trumpet again, I will put up the concert dates when we get them.

Tonight we are headed to Parent Conferences, I am sure they are all doing just great and getting ready for the rest of the year.  More to come as I know it!
