Wow...I pulled my camera out today for the first time in weeks...shame on me!
Busy is the name of the game around here. Here is some of what has been going on:
Kristin turned 11 on the 14th (This past Wednesday)--we celebrated by taking a trip to Sisters with Grandma & Papa Eyie. We will have a party this Saturday for both she & Ryan--so that we can save all our family a trip!
Bill is doing well in school. He's a bit overwhelmed with all that is assigned at school, along with the rental responsibilities, and all the responsibilities here at home. He has been having a lot of fun in his drafting classes, and enjoys the AutoCad he is working on. He had a great experience this week with hopefully getting hooked up to be able to set up some old Alan-Bradley robots that the school has. He worked on these same ones back in Detroit--in the day!!
The kids have had this week off of school, since Grandma and Grandpa are here, and it's really not a routine kind of week. I finally got around to checking their work this week, from last week!! Yahoo...thankfully, they are doing well, and other than not wanting to use a dictionary to do some dictionary skills (BOTH are guilty of this), we are doing well. The commitment to continue to home school seems to be there, although our schedule has changed greatly! They are willing to work independently while we are at work or school, going over the next days assignments before bed and then save what they really need help with (if they need help) for when we get home.
The new job at the Credit Union has been going very well...and they even let me have the time off while my folks were here this week. So far, I've been mostly training, but getting my feet back into the collections department in an office has been invigorating for me! This along with my other 3 jobs (Teaching Monday home school enrichment class--history & science--Working for Joe at the Dental Office, and helping with the rentals) has kept me busy....I think between the three of those not including the rental, I clocked 54 hours the first week...ugh..that didn't include rental, laundry, and food. Thankfully, everyone at home has been pitching in where needed. We are ironing the kinks out, all getting back in the groove, and acclimating to our new schedules as well as moving out of our comfort zones! Keep us in prayer as we all adjust!
Gosh...didn't take many pictures today. We headed for the coast this morning, and it started off chilly & windy, but got very warm...almost 70 over there. Very nice! No sun, but warm & no wind! We had a picnic lunch (in the truck as it was sprinkling just a tad) and enjoyed some sight seeing, of course the outlets, Depot Bay, and our favorite...Chowder at The Sea Hag for supper before heading home!
We got home around 8--watched some TV with Charlie & Robert, and then headed upstairs to get some bills paid, some paperwork done, and find the top of my desk! Yahoo!!
Enjoy today's pictures!
