"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." –John 16:33

Hanging in there until spring break

Lorena finished her last calculus class.  She has one more applied math class and she will be finished forever unless she decides to change her major to particle physics or something like that.  I doubt whether she will do that.  Kelly and Christian are doing great on their math, too.  It is getting harder and harder, but they have a solid base behind them.  There are only three days of school until spring break and the weather has been beautiful.  They still have guitar, piano, and tennis that disrupt their day.  They are working on their next issue of KaktusKids as well as their annual research reports, but all three of them have been going at it hard without a let up since late August.  We have nothing planned for the kids for spring break other than playing outside and, possibly, some swimming.  I looked at the calendar and realized that everyone has been on task so consistently that, if we can keep up that pace after our spring break respite, we can go to visit Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita in Mexico by Memorial Day weekend, beating hay fever season here at Hay Fever Central, Oregon.  Wouldn’t that be awesome.

    I think that a feature column each issue on a the fiercely fought weight loss cage match with color pictures would be a big hit with the readership!

    I’m proud of all of you math whiz people at the Chapman house!! How did your test go Lorena? Ken you mentioned swimming for the kids during spring break. Did you know that there is an awesome wave pool in Eugene? Todd has taken the boys there a few times and it is soooooo fun. Gpa and I get to have the boys for a couple days during the break. We don’t have too much planned other than to be outside in the sun (?) or the rain and mud, laugh alot, play alot, hug alot…eat junk food when hungry, sleep only when we can’t stay awake another minute.

    JoAnn. We are going to just be hanging out for spring break, so bring the boys by if they get bored — I am sure they never get bored! Lorena did great in her calculus class. She only has one more for ever!!!

  9. My friend Skyler has told me about that wave pool Mrs. Waldo! Isn’t it called ‘Splash’? I WAY want to go there! Hope you have fun w/ your grandchildren! Give ’em a hug for me!
