September in Review

9/29/2012

Well, this month has been quite eventful.  For one thing, we have Nicholas in a private Christian school this year.  It was a little nerve wracking to take him out of the homeschool environment after so many years, but so far, it seems like the very best thing for him!  He has matured incredibly in the past month, and watching him take more responsibility for his own work has been very encouraging.  The teachers absolutely love him, and he is simply thriving in this environment.  So that has been a huge answer to prayer!  He also got involved in a Cross Country team, and has been effortlessly blazing past everyone.  He had his first meet a week ago, and would have come in 2nd out of probably 30-40 runners except he got a cramp in his side which slowed him down to 3rd place literally just behind 2nd place.  Here are a few pictures from that event (when the coach says to 'warm up' he takes that 'up' part literally!  :-) 
The triplets have a full load of classes for this first year of high school, so they have kept extremely busy with those.  They are taking a Biology class locally once a week, a government class every other week, and Nathan & Nicole are taking a Worldview class once a week.  Their math and English are really the only 2 classes they are doing completely at home, so while it is a little bit of running around, it isn't every day and I think they are enjoying the outside classes a lot. 
Another event occurred this past Sunday evening while Nathan was playing basketball at church just before the youth service started.  He went up for a shot and somehow caught his finger in the chainlink part of the basektball hoop.   He sliced it pretty badly, so I went ahead and took him to the After Hours clinic just to be sure he didn't need stitches.  Thankfully, he didn't, but he's going to need a few weeks probably for the thing to heal.  He took a picture of it with his iPod touch, so it isn't the greatest photo, but you can get the idea:

I've also had the opportunity to go down to Port Charlotte and visit my folks a couple of times this month, so that was really nice!   Sorry, though - no photo's from those visits.  I'll try to get some next time.  And then a friend of mine had the opportunity to get away on an overnight, so she invited me and Nicole to join her and her daughter at a hotel on the beach last night.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous!  We stayed at the Sirata Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach, arriving at around 2:30pm yesterday and staying for a good 24 hours, hanging out even after we checked out.  I slept from 10:30pm to almost 9am last night!!  I haven't slept that long in YEARS!  We had a really nice time there!   I'll leave you with a few shots from our visit:
