Back into Routine

We are getting settled back into our school routine.  We just finished a full week of school.  Our girls have had their first piano lesson and soccer and volleyball practice/tryouts have kept the older kids busy after school.  I have been in the health office more this week, taking over for one nurse still coming and taking the place of another who left with the high school.

The high school kids didn’t have a “normal” week however.  They went to the high school retreat on Thursday to have a time of bonding and spiritual refreshment before the year gets started.  They got back Saturday.

 Walter is wearing several “hats” this year.  He will have two middle school students in NILD therapy, two different Math 7 classes (advanced and regular levels), is in charge of the middle school senate, and will be girls’ basketball coach.  Outdoor Ed. week falls at the end of the season and a tournament is at that time so he will need help during that week.  He is also the Discovery coordinator and will help the middle school principal a little. 

We are still praying about a ministry for our family to be involved in as well as a church to attend.  Our children also need to have some service hours with school and we would like it to be more ministry type.

 Our son, Ben will be starting his college classes this week.  We are excited that he can be with family our first time separated by an ocean.  He has a good job that will continue through the semester (he isn’t thrilled with the early morning hours though).  We are thankful for Skype and modern technology.  It is nice to see him through the webcam when we talk.  However, the different time zones make it a challenge to find time to call each other.

 Thank you for praying for us,

 Cheryl for the Spicers
