Well,
the kids only have 11 1/2 more days of school. When it comes down to
the end it is often hard to stay focused and keep trying. We are
encouraging them not to give up. There are quite a few events packed in
to these last two weeks. Tomorrow is the Elem./Middle School Spring
concert. Saturday is the Junior/Senior banquet. Next week is the band
concert and then 8th grade banquet and Graduation, then finals and High
School Graduation. We just had our High School Sports Awards night. I
am so proud of these kids. They won all kids of awards. Yohan got a
participation award for soccer, Wyatt won best offensive player for
soccer. Arnold won best defensive player for soccer.
Wyatt was sick all last week with a stomach bug that he is still having
trouble with, so today I am starting him on an antibiotic. Garth has
been sick since last Thursday. We started out thinking it was dengue
because he had many of the symptoms but we don't know for sure. His
blood work showed his numbers were right on the border of maybe having
dengue or maybe not. He is feeling better today, but spends most of his
days in bed.
We
have been trying to squeeze in as much fun "family" bonding time as we
could. These adventures usually include some way to cool off from this
crazy heat. Of course we fit in a trip to Amay, one of our favorite
beaches. But we have also found a few places to swim in the lake by our
house. The latest spot we found is right by the airport. It is such a
nice treat to be able to cool off.
Spring
should be on its way to you soon. I know some of you just had hail and
tornadoes, but hopefully sunshine and colorful blossoms will soon
surround you. How encouraging to know that it is not winter forever.
Hope your day is joyful.
Love
Rachel
