3,6,&9

Does Christ's biological clock have rhythm or what? Saturday marked Naya's 3rd birthday, giving our family a 3,6 & 9 year olds

Naya spent a large part of her third birthday in her birthday suit. She also went to dance. Due to Donna's injury we have had to move the girls to a Saturday class. Naya seems to really love it. This class is really small 6 girls, but is two level higher than her class on Tuesday so they tap. Naya is trying very hard to learn to tap when she is so much younger than everyone else. Her teacher is great and understands that she is barely three and threes aren't normally asked to tap. We think she will get it in time to perform the tap routine on June 12 in her and Fionna's dance concert.

Fionna also started Saturday dance class. At first she didn't want Naya in the same class as her, now she seems to really be enjoying it. She helps her sister get ready and change her shoes from ballet to tap. Christi also had a parent/teacher conference for Fionna. It was glowing in addition to her excellent report card she has met three out of the five speech goals on her IEP.

Dreigan worked on a service project with the pack on Saturday. We went over to one of the older members of the church's house and cleaned-up the yard. It's such a simple thing to do but was greatly appreciated. In a little over an hour six boys and five adults cleaned up an acre plus yard. The boys removed almost a dozen large black bags of leaves from the yard. We are so proud of all our boys. Christi also met with Dreigan's teachers. As unexpected Dreigan's conference was also very good. He is pretty much right where the rest of his classmates are and since September until now he has made growth. It seems that his biggest stumbling block is that he just doesn't get phonics (letter sounds) making difficult to sound out and try to spell unfamiliar words. He has been placed into a special program to try to help him to learn phonics

Honora continues to grow

Christi this week worked very hard. Between forty hours in the classroom in which it was her week to run the classroom, plan and carry out the lesson plan. The weird part was the theme pumpkins and one couldn't be found to be bought anywhere. Luckily Dreigan donated his so that the kids could explore a pumpkin. This was also pack meeting week, so that had to be coordinated, along with the pack service project, and all the paperwork to renew the pack's charter for next year had to be completed. Oh yeah don't forget starting the girls troop as well.

Nick has been great since Christi is on lifting restriction and Donna is on no walking he has had to do almost all the house work, which we all know is like Nick least favorite thing to do. He has been cooking, doing the dishes, washing laundry, ect.

Donna has had the doctor change their minds again. After reviewing her MRI they have decided that she didn't fracture her hip but just severely bruised and irritated the bursa. She still is on weight restriction, but it will heal faster than a break.
