Quick Update

Hearing Tests: We all got our hearing check...me and Bug are on the low end of average for hearing. Jess and the girls are all great!

Dentist: Char and Jess went yesterday...pretty teeth! Julia and I go today...

Co-Op Class: Julia is taking Construction Physics this semester. Charlotte chose not to take a class. Anyway this CP class is really fun. They learn how to build structures to withstand wind, movement, etc. Yesterday they built sky scrappers. Julia was working with another boy to build something that they could both be proud of...He wanted a pyramid. She wanted something with wind tunnels. They built a pyramid with windtunnels. It was cool. And it withstood the wind test really well!

Remodel: We found damage on our ceiling as well so now we are having to battle the insurance company to get payment for a brand new ceiling. The master bedroom is done except carpet and baseboards. The master bathroom is done except tile. The living room is done except the ceiling. Bugs room now has a hand made dutch door, a floor level box shelf just her size, new door nobs, and paint. All it needs now is trim around the door and baseboards. Next up the big girls room! They are getting a hole patched, a new closet door, paint, and baseboards. Then either on to the girls bathroom or the front room! :)

School: The girls are doing awesome. Julia is learning about the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World and can name three so far. She is also doing really well in math. In science she is learning about magnets and stuff like that...as well as the human body. Charlotte is learning about the Renaissance. She is nearly finished with 7th grade math and making 100% on all her tests. Char is also focusing on the human body in great detail. On top of the main assignments each month the girls have a creative project where they must work together...it's for a Character/Bible type subject. This month it was to write and perform a play involving two Christian girls and the theme had to be civil rights related. They will perform that this weekend for me, Jess, and their grandparents. Charlotte also has a bigger monthly project of writing a research paper. This month was supposed to be William Shakespeare but she asked if we could change it to "cows". So she is writing an 8 page type written research paper on cows, cow care, and showing cows. It should be interesting.

I think that's all the updates I have for now...pictures to come this weekend!
