Overdue: Updates

Wow! I didn't realize that it has been almost two years since my last post! Things get busy, children get more involved in school activities (especially when they are in High School!)

Family updates.
Virginia is a sophomore in high school, I still can't believe that she is 16, and learning to drive, has a boy friend, and is talking about college! She had chosen a career path even! She is working towards Graphic Design, she had applied to the CTE program at school that gets her a head start on getting there. In the fall she played golf and made it to sectional competition,  and earned her Letter! Along with that she performed with the Marching Band.  So, she had a busy start to the school year!

Rebekah is freshman in high school. She has had a pretty good year.  She helped out with the Marching Band on the sidelines flipping cards. She also played Varsity Soccer! This girl will play any position that you ask, she even played goalie this year! She also earned her Letter! She has chosen a plan for her future also, she is working towards being a mechanic. Next Fall she is taking an intro to mechanics class!

Ellyn had been keeping us busy too as a 4th grader. She has been a part of a couple of after school activities including Robotics Club, Ukulele Club and piano lessons. Out side of school she takes Taekwando classes, she is currently a Purple Belt and will be testing next weekend for her Blue Recommended Belt, she is also part of the Leadership program that does special classes and have a special form that they learn between testing. She has used Nun Chucks and a Bow Staff. She has participated in 2 tournaments and placed in each one. Her first tournament she earned 3 second places in each event ( Forms, Sparing and Combat Sparing). Last weekend she had her second tournament she earned 3rd places in Forms and Combat Sparing.   She is learning a lot!

As for Tate and I, you can see that we are busy running everyone around and being very proud of the young women we are raising.  But, I guess we do have it own things going on too. Tate has a second job as a dog trainer with PetsMart four days a week.

As for me, I am the main driver....and am also learning about Essential Oils. I decided at the beginning of the year to start and not adventure in oils. I hope to share what I am learning.

Until we meet again....be blessed and relaxed!
