India





Juergen goes to India (Delhi in the North)on Monday. I was able to sleep in this morning until 10:30 am. I lay in bed wondering how in the world an I going to get the kids to school by my self each morning. Our morning schedule is manageable because we divide the work. I honestly don't know how I'm going to do it! Apart from that, I think I can handle 5 high maintenance kids for a week with out Juergen.I expect very good gifts...GOOD GIFTS JUERGEN!!! He will be taking my camera. I'm hoping he will blog the whole trip. Then you'll get a first hand look at this waking giant. Incredible India.

Is the the trip when he gets to stay in the palace? If so, he better be bringing gifts fit for a QUEEN! Funny how we wonder and worry how we will get everything done--getting the kids off to school & where they need to be etc when our husbands are not around....somehow we always manage. At the end of each day, when the kids are all in bed, treat yourself to a bubble bath.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
