Today was a day for cheering and frustration.

Colleen slept all night last night and played by her self  for an hour this morning so that I could get the school work done with the big kids.
Nathaniel has been frustrating as of late.  He has developed a really bad habbit of waiting till the last minute to do his chores so that he doesn't have to do them and I end up doing them for him just to get them done and the house cleaned up.
Dominic is doing good in school but still struggles with not talking over his teacher.



Well we are into our 5 week of school.  The kids are all doing well.  Maria has tutoring every day so I do extra driving but it seems tobe helping.  Amelia got all A's on her progress report as did the older boys.
Dominic tried to play spider man on the school building this week.  Jeff told him he was only allowed to do that at home.  Not sure I like that idea either.
David is already asking to go to school next year. We will probably do PreK if he ever decides to use the potty.
Colleen has decided that she hates baby food ( big surprise.)   None of the big kids liked it either. So it has been a long few days of nonstop nursing.
I have to keep reminding myself to stop and enjoy this time because it won't be here much longer.

God please grant me the grace to get through today with love and contentment.
Rach.

Well it's been 2 years since I've done anything with my blog.  Life has kept moving forward.  I've decided to come back and make writing part of my day to thank God for all that I have been blessed with.
Two years has gone fast and we have added a new  member to our family.  Colleen Elizabeth joined our Family February 6th of this year She is one of the joys of my day.  Again being a premie and staying 14 days in the ICU having her home has been amazing.
The 5 older kids are back in school.  4 are at Chaperall Star Academy and Dominic is at Highland Park
North for Kinder and loves it.
