the year so far....

Oh my goodness.  Where have I been?  I think about posting here and then get busy and forget.  So its catch up time. 
 
Dave had his scans in December and got great news.  The doc said he thought we could put this sarcoma behind us.  What!!??!!  Yep.  That's what he said.  How exciting is that.... So we will go back this December for his next scan.  Once a year scans!!  That's amazing.  We are soooo thankful!! 
 
Erin had the dermatofibroma removed from her back in November.  It was an easy surgery and everything looked good.  We were a little worried but all turned out fine.  She is now playing the clarinet in the band.  She is also turning into a good little artist.  She will finish the 8th grade next month.
 
Abby has done a gazillion honor bands this year.....not really but it feels like it.  The biggest accomplishment was 1st chair middle school All State.  Needless to say, this girl loves playing her French Horn!!  She is almost finished with freshmen year of high school.
 
Samuel.  What to say about Samuel?  He is playing soccer this Spring.  It has rained ALOT, so he hasn't gotten to practice as much as he would like.  He still loves playing with legos and dares anyone to touch his lego creations.  He is almost done with the 6th grade.
 
I started back to school last August.  I decided at the very last possible minute to register for an Anatomy class.  It went really well.  I made a B.  This semester I have been taking Anatomy 2 and Microbiology.  It has been a busy few months. I have really enjoyed taking classes.  I have applied for nursing school and will find out if I got in sometime this summer.  So....that's been a big adjustment.  We are finishing up our 10th year of homeschool.  I'm thankful I have been able to be home with these kiddos all these years. 
 
Hopefully I will keep this blog more up to date.  I do like being able to go back and see what was going on in our lives.

22 Years I wrote this blog post several years ago. I have added to it each year.  It's good to remember...... 1st year (1998-1999) o...
