Well, we made it through our first week of school! I say we because prior to Monday we had all been sleeping until 8 or 8:30. Needless to say 6:15 comes WAY too early :( By today it had already moved to 6:30! Trey made the adjustment with us this week, although I let him sleep until 7:00, it was still early for him. Next week will be his week :( Last night I pulled out the videos of him when he was a baby and I didn't cry then, but thinking about it now makes me want to. I even watched the dreaded video of the day he was born, I say that because it took them a while to get him to breathe. It gives me chills every time I see it. My mom has still to this day not watched it. It was very scary. Anyway, he's alive and well and VERY full of himself lately.
We had a little incident on Wednesday with him taking off on his bike down the road ( I was walking behind him and he was supposed to stop at a certain spot but kept going leaving me way behind). He tried to say that he didn't hear me, but I didn't buy that! He heard me and chose not to listen to me! He is not allowed to ride on the road for a long while and his bike has been taken away from him until tomorrow. He cried like a baby when I told him that, but it had to be done. He has also been very bored this week. Today we played Candy Land and the Match Game two or three times, he played the Wii, and he watched his Monster Jam movie and Peter Pan. By 1:00 he's ready to leave to pick the girls up!!

The girls have had a really good week this week. Makena had a minor issue on Wednesday with not being able to hear (thanks to her cold/allergies), but that has since been resolved and now poor Carlie has the same stuff! In fact she is running a little fever and having a lot of ear pain. We are going to try and get into the clinic tomorrow morning.
I will start helping at school next week when Trey starts. I am supposed to be there Mon.-Wed., but who knows, with it being T's first week, I might be there all week :)
Back to the girls...they both have already had quizzes this week and have made all A's. Go girls!!
Carl hasn't been really busy because we have been getting some rain and they aren't ready to start cutting rice yet. Please keep us in your prayers. We have a situation/opportunity (depending on who you ask) that has been presented to us. It's so funny that "this" happened just a couple of days after I wrote my contentment post! We are still content (not to be confused with complacent), and we both completely agree on one thing...we don't want to be anywhere but where God wants us to be. We are earnestly seeking his direction and plan for our lives.
