The Dr and stuff

I took Sarah to the Children's Dr for a hearing test. She needs to routinely get checked so we can get speech therapy. This time it was more important. The insurance generally pays for 60 sessions. Then they want you to take a break. But Sarah needs more therapy. So her Dr agreed to allow more. She really is making good progress, but it will still take time. And by time, I mean years. I'm hoping in 2 or 3 years you will not tell she had a speech problem. But that's 2 or 3 years of work. It's worth it!

The kids have soccer again today, if it doesn't rain. Last week it was cancelled because of rain. Right now it doesn't look good.

The hand worker is going to finish the kitchen today (maybe). He did work on it for 2 hours last night. It will be nice to finally have it finished.

I need to go to Sarah's parent teacher meeting tonight. These things are often a waste of time. But it's a new school, and I should go.

A family was going to look at our house in Leimen tonight, but they canceled. They wanted the house for them and an older parent. But they don't think they can divide the house well. Sad, they seemed very serious. I'm trying not to get anxious about this. It's out of my hands... Please just keep praying that we can sell our house in Leimen. God is greater then a bad real-estate market!

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. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. 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 ...
