So last week we had the excitement of Dad coming home from annual training. Then the four children participated in a parade with the Young Marines. Yesterday we celebrated Father's Day by going out to eat. We went to church on Sunday. Before we could go eat, we dropped off the 12 passenger van to hopefully we can get the transmission fixed. We should hear something about that by this Tuesday.
Afterwards, we did some window-shopping and I got my hair cut. Today, all four children and I had eye exams. Dad took us all since I was not sure if I would need to have my eyes dilated or not. My eyes have gotten worse. Jacob and Joseph still need glasses, but only to see things far away. The younger two did great and have excellent vision. From there we went and made appointments for all four children to have annual physicals done. Plus Dad and I need follow-up appointments.
Tomorrow we are going with the Salvation Army to Knoebels (an amusement park) or at least we are if the children have enough schoolwork done. Wednesday, Jacob and Nathan go in the morning for their physicals; then Dad and I go in the evening for our follow-up appointments. This way maybe next week we can take Jacob to get his permit. Thursday we help with the soup kitchen. Friday the four children go to the encampment with Young Marines. After we drop them off Friday morning, we will be taking the children's portfolios off so we will be done with this school year.
We are planning on taking Jacob to get his permit one day next week. Then on the 28th we will be celebrating Jacob's 17th birthday. On the 1st and 2nd, we take Joseph and Rebecca for their physicals respectively. On the 12th they all go to music and arts camp, so hopefully while they are gone, I will get tons of planning for next year done.
So life is definitely getting exciting around here.
