What a helper!

Aimee is such a good helper. She helped us in the flowerbed a couple of weeks ago. I am just now getting this updated.

Summer is goign well. She is doing so well here at the house with her sitter. She LOVES Shelby, her sitter.

Anyway, that is all for now.

Summer has begun....

I have been so lame in updating this. Does it help to say that we are just so busy???

School is out!!! Our baby is now in first grade. Does that make her still a baby or a big girl now? She will always be my baby. She was picking on her Daddy the other day and I just started laughing cause she said "it's ok Daddy, I was just aggrivating you". We got the biggest chuckle out of it.

We are waiting to get some test results on her back from a school that we took her to. Aimee has always been a very high maint child. We had struggled for a while on if we wanted to get a psychological on her to see what we are dealing with. We finally did and let's just say....she is smart. Her IQ is around 127-151 depending on the test. Her teacher recommended that she needs to be in the GT program so we are persuing that. Actually her testing for that starts next week. So, we are really working on how we need to parent her. We don't want to quench her spirit but we do want to make sure that she is behaving the way that God desires her to.

We have a teenage girl that is going to keep her over the summer. We had put her in a local day care but they put her in a 4 year old class for some reason. Anyway, we decided that was not going to work for us or her. This is a much better fit for our family.

As far as D, he is normally at the ball park! He is umping and enjoying it so much. He was unable to do this in Tyler as it is considered a "part time job" and he was unable to have one there per the pastor of the church. He is really good at it. Matter of fact, we do a youth/adult softball game 1 time a month during the summer and he called a strike on me....ME! His wife, the love of his life. Can't ever say he is not fair.

For me, work keeps me busy. I do enjoy my job and getting to play with the children and feel like I have made a difference in their lives. It's time consuming but I love it.

We are telling a group of students good bye this fall. I have never been as sad to see a group graduate as I am with this group. I love these students and this group has just loved all over us and showed us what student ministry is. I am going to miss my girls.....
