Right after I received Al’s confirmation that he is going to go skiing with us this year, I got a note from Lauro that he and his family will come, too. Doug got the reservation all set up so we are all set for skiing in Bend later this year.
Tonight our new workers are coming over to spend a few days with us. That will be very nice. Joe Layman is back from last year and his new companion is Lyle Waldo. Last night at meeting, Nancy Ramsdell and the kids were not at meeting. Mark was there and he told us that Nancy’s cousin Kayle Smith had been killed in a motorcycle accident. That family has had a pretty rough time over the last year. I have always thought that riding motorcycles is fun, but it is very, very dangerous. There is no way I will let the kids have one as long as I am in control.
Lorena’s class seems to be going ok. I was a little worried that she was not understanding the material, but last night when we sat down to go over her homework, she had done most of it properly and was mostly just rusty from not having done it for awhile. I think that as long as she gets the homework done, she will do great.
Home school continues to go great. The kids are working hard and we are still trying to get the work load balanced. We made a new rule yesterday that Kelly cannot read any books other than what is required for her home school assignments until all her assignments are finished each day. Reading her “fun” books is just too much of an attraction for her. Christian did his second experiment last night and will write it up today. I am looking forward to seeing that.
