2014 Update

How did so much time go by?  I have thought many times about writing a blog and always seem to get distracted.  I do not know how it happens, but it does.  

Life in Indiana has been, well interesting to say the least.  The weather is kind of out of control.  We had one of the worst winters in history, SNOW, Snow and more snow.  Then we had RAIN, Rain, and more rain.  No really hot weather.  And now we have pretty much skipped early fall and have gone straight to early winter.  On Saturday, October 4, 2014, we had flurries.  Yes real actual snow.  Who ever heard of snow at the beginning of October!  That is just the weather.  :)

Let's see.  Christopher is now almost 15.  I can hardly believe it.  He is a typical teenager. He thinks he is in charge of the world.  He has decided that he is the man of the house and that his sister and brother need to obey him also.  He will learn.  (Insert evil mom laugh.)  He is an unhappy eighth grader.  (He absolutely HATES homework.  His school has an after school program that requires kids to go to it if they do not finish homework.  He is there A LOT.)  He is still in Scouts and at times threatens to quit, until the next meeting or activity, then he has a blast and forgets to quit.  

Cassidy is 13, an official teenager and everything that goes along with it.  She is in seventh grade and actually real likes her classes.  She is a big help everywhere and usually does exactly what she is asked without complaining, although the whine and complaint do happen.  She still deals with asthma, still pretty severe.  She gets very annoyed when she has an asthma attack.  She was in the hospital last week and when we got there she knew all the nurses and respiratory staff that she saw.  That does make her life a little easier.

Barry is 11.  He is still a sweet little boy.  He is in Scouts and seems to have a good time.  He is in sixth grade.  He has had a difficult time in school this year, but that is not completely unheard of  at his school.  There are some tough sixth grade teachers.  :)  He really enjoys hanging out with his friends.

We started attending a new church and really like it.  My kids LOVE the youth group.  They meet every other week and my kids really look forward to it.  I have found some old friends and made some new ones at our new church.  We have not been going long, but I really like it. I have two classes to finish to get my degree.  I should be done in May.  One this semester and one next.  I cannot wait to be done.

Hopefully I will remember to update this blog more frequently, but we shall see.  :)
