4th grade
Wow how the time flies! Brittany is now in Middle School, and oh the social butterfly she is!! Totally lovin' being in her "own" school. As music still remains the main source of therapy in our house, She is caring that on. She sings soprano in the HMS Music Machine Choir, and also in South Central Nebraska Children's Chorale at Hastings College.She is very smart girl and does well in school. She is trying out for the basketball team when it's time. I've noticed alot this year that Britt is more mature than most the girls her age, but yet she is so much more innocent at the same time. She is a beautiful young lady and I am so proud of her.
Ashley never ceases to surprise me! She is in the 4th grade this year and has graduated to the Big sister mode at school. She makes mostly A's, reading at an 8th grade level. She is ADHD and bipolar, and a lil advocate about it. We keep her very aware and involved in therapy to teach her how to adapt and overcome. She is a member of the student council at school and is also in science club. The school and I always are aware that if Ash has had a bad day, and you cant find her, look for the nearest horse. She loves animals and wants to be a vet when she grows up. She is also in South central Children's chorale at the college.
Anthony is just lovin school, he is so proud to be in there with his sister. He still love his trucks, every trash day at 6 am he is out the door say hi and getting them to honk the garbage truck horn and announcing that his JoeJoe Daddy can work on their truck and fix it. All the kids did not take the news about Hannah being taken out of school very good. It has made the stress level in the house rather high. Keeping them all active in activities helps keep them sane. They are also in Awana / JR high youth group. Thanks to are angels from church who pick them up and take them there for me.
Hannah can not go, she cannot go practically anywhere anymore. Not even walmart. The doc said nowhere public. Next thing I need to get for her is a rain cover thing that goes over a stroller. I think I will be able to keep her contact precautions in better control that way. She has to be able to get out sometime, doctors and all. The house thing is driving her and I both crazy! Cant wait to get the curriculum for home school in process. Keeping us busy is our only source of sanity. I am on the look out for a good laptop. I am thinking of taking some more classes myself, while home schooling her, and I need to be more portable since we are out of town so much.
Speaking of out of town... Hannah and I will be leaving Tuesday night for Omaha. Going to our second home at the rainbow house. gotta to be checked in at the Hosp. early for her procedures. Also scheduled to see the immunologist at 4. so busy day. Hoping to be back home that night, but may take refuge in town till morning. Keep us all in your prayers. Having meet so many angels at the benefit was amazing, and gives us so much encouragement. Well I should go now, after I take the kids to school I'm going to see a man about some tires... Always makes the drive more relaxing to know you are that much safer!
Love, Blessings, & Barefeet, Beckie
