Last week before school starts

So this last week started with Chris and my parents and I taking Rand and his friends to the Ren Fest for Rand's birthday. Regretfully, as we were arriving, I was called away to take Charlie, who was potentially having an appendicitis, to the hospital for the afternoon. As it turned out, Charlie did not need to have his appendix removed; but he did have a high fever for 4 days which impeded his ability to really enjoy his last week before school starts. Then, yesterday afternoon, Mat came down with a fever too. I'm hoping that it will be gone by Tuesday morning!

We have met all of the new teachers and are all excited about different things this year. Rand is starting football this year! I'm very excited to see what position he will play and if he enjoys the physical challenge.

Matrim will be heading over to the middle school for 7th grade math. He will also be continuing to work with specialists to learn more about Aspergers Syndrome and how to function with it. I'm very hopeful that this will be a good year for him.

Charlie is now going to go by "Christian" I will see if I can remember that. the nice thing about having a new teacher is that she will only know him as Christian. She seems very nice. Also very young. One nice thing about a new teacher is their enthusiasm. I know that Christian will have a great year.

I am working with Stephen Marq at the airport now and am glad that I will be able to get them off to school in the morning and have a job during the school day. I am really enjoying working again. I still want to go back to school though.

Chris and I have several things that we are going to be involved in at church. We are excited to be starting Alpha next week on Tuesday nights. We will be involved as Table Leaders, I guess. This Saturday we'll find out exactly what that will mean. I also co-ordinate the Culver's Community Day fundraisers for our school each month, which also happen on a Tuesday night. And then PTO is ALSO on Tuesday nights. Tuesday is going to be a very busy day for me for the next 3 months. We were also going to start with a Small Group this Sept., but it looks like we are all just going to be involved in the Alpha thing to start with. That will help. But then we are both involved in Worship and might be starting to help out in the children's area too. We'll see if we are still functioning come Christmas!

I might do a separate post re: diabetes and such. This one is getting pretty long.
