It has been awhile, but a few weeks ago we took the kids (minus Erin and Emily) to Kings Island. It is always fun to see the excitement in the kids eyes as they ride the rides. They were both big enough to ride an "big kids" roller coaster (well... big for them!).
(a little tuckered out)I thought I would share a sample of Erin and Sam's schedule. This week it went like this:
Monday - In early for an officer's meeting (left at 6:30am). School until 2:30, Erin had practice at 2:45 - 5:15/30. Sam had to be at the field by 4:00 for his game at 5:30, so he stayed after school. Erin came to Sam's game. Sam had to stay for the varsity game and Erin wanted to stay. They left at 9:15 but we had no water, so they went to my parents and showered. They walked in the door near 10:00pm and finished up homework.
Tuesday - In early for another officers' meeting (left at 6:30). School until 2:30. Sam had practice after school until 5:30. Erin had to be at the field by 4:00 for her game, so she just stayed after school. Sam joined us at the game, after practice. We all stayed until Erin's game was over (9:15 or so). Then we headed to my parents for the kids to shower (still no water). Got home 10:25.
Wednesday - In early for another meeting (6:30 again). School until 2:30. Erin had practice after school until 5:30. Sam had to catch a bus at 4:00 for an away game, so he stayed after school. Erin then went with a friend to grab something to eat before heading to church at 7:00. Sam go home at 7:45 and went to church where both had a SALT team meeting (leadership). They didn't pull into our drive until 9:15/30 (we finally had water for them to shower here).
Thursday: another meeting, so in early. School until 2:30. Both had soccer practice until 5:30. Then they had marching band practice from 6:00 - 9:00. They pulled into our house around 9:35. Finished homework and showered.
Friday: (today's schedule). They got to sleep in (until next Friday when FCA begins). School until 2:30. Soccer until 5:30, at 6:00 they have to be at the football field preparing for marching band. They won't be done until close to 10:00.
Don't you all wish you were teens again and able to keep that kind of pace?????!!
Finally, please pray for Emily. She LOVES school so I am not requesting prayer for homesickness or anything like that. She just needs prayer. Lots of new things in her life. One specific is that she begins work study soon and she is a little overwhelmed with the idea of all the homework she is experiencing and fitting in work.
Jacob is enjoying the time we have here at home. I see some real joy in him. That is worth more then words can say.
