This Week at our House # 17

We lost the camera, no pictures this week

1. John is still unemployed. This getting hard, but we are trying to be patient and calm. We know that the Lord will help us and get this fixed in time. We won't loose faith.
2. I got to meet a person that I have been doing United Families Utah stuff with online. I loved getting to know her. We have a lot of common ground including many children. She also went to law school with my sister in law and lived in the stake that I grew up in. The LDS world is a small place.
3. Ruth had a field trip to a Hindu temple, a Budhist temple, and a Mosque. She had fun with her friends and I think it was a good experience for her.
4. Kate has one math lesson left and then she is finished with the 8th grade. The bonus of homeschool is working at your own pace. Kate has one full extra month of summer vacation.
5. Johnny got accepted into Legacy Preparatory Academy, a public charter school near us, as an 8th grader. We've decided to go that route for Johnny this next school year. He'll have to work a lot harder and I think that will be good for him.
6. Adam and I chose his homeschool classes for next year. It looks like Adam will be my only homeschool kid next year. He seems fine with that. 
7. Rachel got top grades on her report card and was given a difficult poem to read in front of the class. Yay! Rachel.
8. Anya had her booster shots for kindergarten. I had to hold her down. She freaked as soon as she saw the needle. Anya told me that Arwen is now a human because she laughs like one.
9. I moved all the toys into our living room on Monday. They look horrible, but that one thing kept Joseph out of trouble the whole week.
10. John shows Joshua train videos on youtube. That is now Josh's new addiction. Whenever he sees a computer he asks for trains.
11. Arwen is adored by all. She is happy all the time and everyone loves her a ton and wants to be around her.
