Ponderings

Well, things are moving right along in our home. It seems that time doesn't stop for anything. (Imagine that!) Let's see, an update on everyone:
B is having a BIG birthday next week, the big 16! She is so excited she can talk of nothing else. We are going to have a party and all the things that go along with a milestone birthday. She is doing really well in school and loves going to school. That makes it better for her.
T is home now and it is chaos. I don't know what we are going to do with him. Sometimes it is better and other times it is just like it was before. He has a full-time aide in school and that seems to be helping. We haven't had any major blow ups. This is a first. I really like the aide as she seems to have a great feel for what T needs. He a really great therapist that is working with the whole family. I hope that it will help bring all the family together more.
D is doing really well in school. We continue to use k12 through UTVA. It is a great program and we both love it. He just started Latin this last week and it is fun to hear him try and pronounce the words. I am learning it right along with him. At least I am trying. He is working on his Eagle Project right now, and is almost ready to turn in his papers. It is really great. He is doing activity bags for the kids in hospital. He is really passionate about it.
E is doing as well as can be expected. She is in a new school this year and I love her teachers. They are really great at helping her get around and learn the ropes at the new school. She is in the same class as B was in and will continue to be as long as she needs to be. It has really helped her so far.
Husband B is still working at the same job. He is doing well and is becoming very well respected with all he is able to do. I so proud of him. He is so smart and can figure out most of the problems. He is just getting over being really sick. He seems to get sick about twice a year, with the change of seasons. We just come to expect it. D and he love to play Magic the Gathering together. D usually can win, which makes him very happy. B takes it in stride and then comes back to wipe D off the board. It is fun to watch.
I am very busy. I have done one wedding cake and have another in the works. I am also making a cake for B's birthday (she wants a three layer). I made my baby sister M's wedding dress. I still have to alter her step-daughters dress. I am helping with the other parts of her wedding that is coming up on the first of Jan. It is alot of work, but I am really enjoying it. I have made lots of Christmas gifts this year. It has been great to keep me busy and also be productive. I am also tring to go to the gym at least 3 days a week. It helps me feel better, so I keep going. I take a book to listen to and I am getting lots of reading done that way. I actually enjoy it.
Well, that about sums it up. Lots going on and I sure I have forgotten lots, but that is most of it.
