Cooling Off and Winding Down

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
