Update

The Flu Bug Got US!! We've been through the whole house now....everything from fevers to bad colds....poor Bill has been sick twice. Just send your kids back to school, and they bring home everything under the sun! Haha....

Poor Kristin had a fever for a few days, and laid around like a wet dishrag. Those of you who know Kristin well, know this is not her! Thankfully, it was a weekend, and I was able to be home with her, and didn't have to make the "do I go to work or stay home with my kid" decision! This is a picture of her after she was feeling a bit better...trying to get a kiss....she thought the bag would keep the germs away!!

Thanks to all who have been praying for us. Your prayers have helped us heal....now for the coughing....that never goes away! Other than sickness...Ryan spent the weekend with his friend Hunter. It was a big weekend...as it was his first High School football game that he went to "unchaperoned"!! A big step for us..but he had a blast, and enjoyed his weekend with Hunter.

Ryan's birthday on Monday was somewhat uneventful due in part to Kristin being sick, and it being the first day that I was up & around. Thankfully we had celebrated when my folks were here....so other than his gift from us, and his special dinner, it was a quiet day. His birthday came & went, and as hard as I tried to put a brick on his head...he still turned 14! WOW.

Things are going great for Bill at school. We are very proud of him. He aced all his finals, and is pulling A's in his classes....woohoo Bill!!

I am enjoying work, but not enjoying the time away from home. Its been fun to be collecting almost full time again...between Joe's and the Credit Union I'm working about 35-40 hours. It does make it tough to be away from the kids and to have to work when Bill is off, but at least the kids are only home 2 days without one of us around.

The kids are doing great in their computer school lessons....it's been a blessing for all of us....and Kristin is amazing me with her math--she's doing so much better...guess the computer is a better teacher than me! Praise God for that gift of curriculum from the Brownsville district. Ryan is enjoy his math as well, and both kids, although not enjoying it, are doing well in grammar, english & spelling.

Last but not least...Robert is doing great in school as well...acing his Algebra class, and of course pulling A's in his music classes....but we would expect nothing less of him....he's the smart one in the family! Not that he needs us to be proud of him, but we are...as he's just as much a part of our family. Sorry for the lag in updates...being sick & busy makes it tough to get it all done! Leaving you with a picture of one of our cute kittens (who isn't so small anymore)....Zorro, catching a nap...with his cute little paw under his face!!
