Well, this week found a lot of new routines……

Caleb has started at Christ Church CE Junior School.  He is in year 4 and he says that the kids are nice and the teacher is kind so has enjoyed his first week.  He seems to also be very excited that he gets to wear a tie and blazar each day.

 Nathan and Eden are both in St Saviors CE Infant School.  It is only a couple of minutes away from Caleb’s school and they both started their week knowing people that were in there classes so that has made for a real easy transition.

We are really pleased to have the kids at the new school and are very excited to see what will happen in their time at the school.  We have had the opportunity to meet each of the teachers and are impressed with how caring and informative they each are.

We have also chosen to bike to school each day which means 40 minutes each way (twice for Eileen as she doesn’t stay at school).  We figure it is good excercise and cheaper then the car and parking.  We have done it all week and really enjoyed it… actually surprised to find how much easier some things are without a car.

We will post some new picks of the kids in their new uniforms on the website soon. ( We are having a bit of trouble with that side of the program so please be patient with us).

Well, this week all of the kinds in our area (and most of the UK) have the week off of school.  This is great because to be honest with you, i am just tired of taking them to school and they are tired of going so a week off is just perfect!!!

When we return after our week off the kids will be starting with new schools.  Caleb will be attending Christ Church C of E junior school and Eden & Nathan will both be joining St.Saviors C of E infant school.  Oh…  for those who don’t know C of E is Church of England.   We are really excited for them as they are also and feel that this move is a great opportunity for them. 

Please pray for all three of them that they can adjust quickly into their new classes, we are already thankfull that each of them already knows people in the class so they are not going in blind!!

Well, this weekend was full of lots of fun things… the kids and I (Eileen) had the opportunity to go to the church to help with the kids event.  It was lots of fun.  Caleb, Eden and Nathan all enjoyed being there and participating, Caleb and Eden even had the opportunity to help in some of the workshops and with lots of cleaning up at the end!!

 We are all looking forward to the next event in April

Hey Everyone,

Well, this week has been a long one so far as Caleb has come down with a pretty bad earache…. as i am sure all of you who have children know, they always come on late Friday night when all the Dr’s are gone for the weekend.  We kept him all dosed with medicine and waiting till Monday morning and took him to the local GP’s and were shocked to hear it was only a bit of wax.  That night he was again up all night with pain and a fever so we decided to take him the the hospital to have someone look at him.  They quickly decided it was an ear infection and even let Aaron see it (not a pretty picture first thing in the morning).  So we now have medicine and are hoping to get back to a normal nights sleep tonight!!!  and maybe even get him back to school tomorrow!!!

Blessings

Well, i just wanted to let you know that the reason for the long delay between our entries is that our internet is not working properly…. I am hoping it will be up and running in the next couple of days…

Thanks for your patience.

Oh my!!!  So i was sitting here thinking it would be good to do our weekly update and was thinking through my week and I think the title says it all!!  There have been so many bugs going around that we have all taken turns with them.  Even today almost 2 weeks after our fist bit of this bug Caleb is home from school as he was up in the night with it!!  Aaron has been away which has made it a bit harder but, thankfully Caleb has stepped up and helped with the younger two allowing me to rest when needed also! 

Aaron will be flying home today, so we will get to see him tomorrow!  Please pray for his safe travels!

Last Wednesday Caleb and Eden both returned to school after having a great break from the daily routine over the summer.  Nathan has had to wait…. now….. he will start tomorrow!!!  He is really excited and looking forward to catching up with many of his friends.  He has asked on a daily basis…. can i wear my uniform?  When can i start my big class?  When can i take a lunch box to school?  So….. tomorrow is the day. 

Please pray for Nathan as he starts his full days.  It can seem like a lot at the begining and when the excitement wears off the fatigue will set in….. !!

Well, it is that time of year again!  The kids are all excited to get back to school and catch up with all of their classmates.  Caleb will be going into year 4, actually he will have the same teacher he had in year 2!!!  We are all excited because she and Caleb really got on well and she turned out to be a great teacher!! Eden will be going into year 2.  We are not sure what to expect of her teacher as she is new to our school and we won’t get a chance to meet her untill the first day!  Nathan will be starting reception… for those of you not in the UK this means he will be attending school all day, five days a week.  He seems to be really excited about it and loves the fact that he will have the same teacher Eden had when she was in reception.  He will have to wait a week longer then the big kids to get back but he is very excited about the idea of taking a lunch to school!!! 

 (we will post photo’s of the kids first day back once they have started!!)
