I'm so glad so many of you are clicking every day.  Keep up the good work!

WOO HOO !!!!  THE GIRLS ARE OFF SCHOOL UNTIL OCTOBER 30th.  I AM SO EXCITED.

Well, just a little bit . . .

Andrea  and Kayla before the love ended . . .

  

 . . . and Lupe, the third of our angels

So, actually I am happy to know the girls get time off from the daily grind.  This school year has been much harder than last.  Both girls are in a life sciences class that is very demanding.  All 7th graders are required to take it.  I don't remember doing that.  I think I got some science in 8th or 9th grade.  Also, there not the grading standards as they are now.  Our schools were usually first in the state.  Now I think California as a whole is way down on the list.  Anyway, the girls are doing their best according to their learning abilities.  Kayla fought herself back from failing to passing in her first semester of living here.  We are very proud of her.  Andrea started full-time school just after Lupe and Kayla joined our family.  Lupe is a treasure.  She loves to ride "her" bus and interact with "her" teacher. She attends the same school as the others, so it's easy for us.  Next year she will be in high school.  

We have grown into ourselves as a family.  We pray with each other twice a day, worship together and love each other as Christloves the church.  This is not to say that there aren't daily squabbles or resentments.  They are 12, 12 and 13.  Sheesh, if the didn't have problems I would think something was fishy.  They are a delight to us most of the time.  I say most of the time because Rob and I have our off days too.

I have a splitting headache today and back pain.  I took pain medicine and am hoping it will work.  I pray that you have all had a good day.

In the love of Christ,
