Can you say "busy"?

I will say that I have wanted to post for all the wonderful things happening, but, haven't been able to sit down and just do it. I will try to back tack a little if time permits.

When our revival at church hit in the first week of November so did a bad run of the flu. I missed two of the five nights of Revival with sick kids and me being sick. I hate missing revival, but, you don't want to pass this to other people. The sad thing is we probably got it at church...

I have been struggling with just keeping up while we are so busy and sick. But I did have an added blessing. After struggling so hard with English last year, Silas is actually a little ahead. He is already half way through the book... And he is grasping things much better. He seems to be maturing mentally. It is good as I see Philip struggling a little as Third grade gets more challenging. On top of this I really felt led to start Cecilia in K5 when we start 2nd semester. She has been writing her own name and words without help the last few weeks. AND speaking English. Apparently she is making up for lost time with her opinion on things.... I keep asking myself why I wanted her to speak English....lol I still stand in awe at her passing milestones and no longer being the baby. I still worry about the day she won't pass that milestone due to her time without oxygen as a baby. I try not to cry when I think about her arresting on the ER bed and watching helpless as the resuscitated my one month old baby. I had heard of RSV before this, but, never knew the pain that could go with it..

Will try to do better about posting.
