Here is our sweet boy on his birthday in June!!! 13 already!! I can't believe that it has been that long already. The years pass way to fast. I have been working on his scrapbooks this summer, I'm only 8 yrs behind, but as I look at his sweet face I am blessed to be his mom.
Another milestone is that he is now an official middle schooler!! YIKES! Scary and exciting at the same time. It's only been a week, but we are giving it a try. There are about 900 kids there and this is the first new teacher he's had in 4 yrs.
Here he is the first day of school this last Monday......
He has enjoyed it so far. Loves riding the little yellow bus home with a few friends. That's the most favorite part of his day, I think. Hopefully, he will have a great year.
I have been super duper busy this summer tutoring 17 students. Not always everyone each week, but still kept my schedule busy. I have most of them continuing with me this fall, but the biggest change is that I will be homeschooling one of those 1st grade students!! I am looking forward to this new challenge, and am having fun switching into my teacher mode and trying to make my "classroom" ready for him. We start on Monday and it should be lots of fun!
John is home with me again this year and will be helping me with my tutoring students, especially the older ones. He was quite ill after Christmas and ended up in the hospital. Now he is on oxygen, 24/7 and is not allowed to "work", so we have applied for disability and are awaiting the final decision, hopefully in mid-October. Please join us in prayer for this.
But truly, GOD has been AMAZING and provided above and beyond all that we have needed. Can't really ask for more than that!
That's all for now,
Deb and JEB
