Good Morning - I'm Free
Can you believe it?
I have a whole 4 hours to do laundry and clean house. Whoooppieeee!! What freedom. No, just kidding. Shelby went to school yesterday for 2 hours to kinda get things set up on transfers and stuff, and today is the first day to ride the bus. She was picked up at 8:30 and will be at school from 9 to 1. She will be home at 1:30. She actually has a sore throat today. I guess all the hugging yesterday got to her. I hope she will feel better by Monday.
I can hardly believe that she is back. When the surgeon signed the form that said she would be out for 6-8 weeks, I thought he was nuts. There would be no possible way that she could possibly be back after such a big surgery. How could she handle being upright for so many hours and be comfortable with those rods in her back and 30 screws holding her together? Well, Monday will be 10 weeks since the surgery and almost 12 weeks since she was in school, and I think she is absolutely AWESOME!!! She was very happy this morning. She made brownies for her class and wanted to celebrate.
Taylor has been so very busy. She is competing in track, she is doing UIL Social Studies (Tuesday is the Test) and she has had UIL Choir (Concert and Sightreading) The girls' choir received II's on stage and all I's in sightreading. They were happy with that because they said the judges were really hard on the stage performance. She is really happy that today is Friday. Tomorrow night at church, we are having a family night with a comedian, illusionist, and our youth minister will be singing. Taylor will be spending the night with 3 other girls, so as you can see, she has no time to rest. (Not to mention Saturday we 'Spring Forward') Oh what energy these young'ens have!! She is such a beautiful young lady inside and out and we are EXTREMELY proud of her.
Kendall has been invited to spend the weekend at her best friend's grandparents home in the country. She is very excited. She has been teaching 2 year olds in bible class and absolutely loves it. She has asked me everyday to call the coordinator to see if she can continue with the class even though her LTC commitment is over. We are very proud of her and her commitment to 'Bible Bowl' this year. They have covered Joshua, Judges, and Ruth. (All the kids have been studying for many, many months)
Thanks for reading as I have rambled on about my kids. I'm sure you all understand. Thanks again for all the prayers and love that have been shown to our family these past 6 months.We have trully felt and been 'lifted up'.
All our love,
Kim and crew
