Down to This

The list is getting shorter. Two parties down, two to go. Twins are signed up for basketball. It's a learning thing so instead of practices and games, the games work as practices. They start January 8. It doesn't look like Adam will make basketball. He missed it at his school and was upset. Since he thought he had no chance, he didn't bother with his grades. But now he has another chance to play in the same league as the twins but probably can't pull the Fs and Ds up in time since he just let it all go. That was goofy anyway because he still had a chance at soccer. And sports aside, he's in 10th grade so these grades will go on his overall high school gpa.



Jeff has one more math unit but is still hoping to finish up so that when he comes home for Christmas break, it will be a permanent move home. I have very mixed feelings. Those of you who've followed our story and know why he left will understand. I really don't think the problems have gone away. I just think that in the structured environment he was in, there was limited potential to get into trouble. And he did manage to get into some trouble there. Time will tell. I don't see real evidence of a personal walk with God and that is troubling.





Jasmine is home with a 102.7 fever right now. If she has any sign of a fever Tues or Wed they will not do the surgeries. We've finally got all the insurance in place and a doctor who is going to do the weekly neck adjustments here since Shands is five hours away. It's going to be a mess if it has to be rescheduled. She can't afford to miss two weeks of school recovery time. She is currently failing math. We need to get it up to passing. The rest of her grades, except writing, are Bs.


Jasmine got the cute snow woman from Felicia at "Stare if You Must" to cheer her up before her surgery.
