Where I have been

Busy, busy, busy.

We have a baby coming.

Rachel and Sarah had quarterly evaluations and that took up more time than I thought (we do them at home with a digital recorder and a number of forms). In case anyone is wondering, they're doing very well. I've been able to zero in on some problem areas that wouldn't have appeared before if I had been doing this on a more informal basis. We're also at the point in our progress where we can reason with Sarah most of the time. And we're learning better how to help her during the times when she's unreasonable. Rachel's speech has improved and she's becoming more involved and engaged than even a few months ago.

Progress is good. :)

We had a bit of illness come through over the weekend, but because of the herbs and trying to focus on health, it didn't hit us nearly as hard as it could have hit us. We had three girls actually come down with it, but the rest of us are still upright and doing okay (crosses fingers).

But the biggest thing after Rachel and Sarah has been preparing for this baby and taking care of my health before the Big Day. If you want a little more info on that, feel free to visit my other blog, Homemaking Cents where I also discuss a change in my church's policy that I wasn't aware of until recently.
