NTM

Saturday morning we woke up to heavy rain.  It had been raining the night before but had increased in intensity and had not let up.  We were told that our subdivision never floods, but our street began to flood with water pouring into it from a nearby creek.  We were fortunate that the water never went past the level of our car port.  We lost power halfway through the day and it was out until 5 am Sunday.  We had water until Sunday morning.  (more…)

We are getting settled back into our school routine.  We just finished a full week of school.  Our girls have had their first piano lesson and soccer and volleyball practice/tryouts have kept the older kids busy after school.  I have been in the health office more this week, taking over for one nurse still coming and taking the place of another who left with the high school.

The high school kids didn’t have a “normal” week however.  They went to the high school retreat on Thursday to have a time of bonding and spiritual refreshment before the year gets started.  They got back Saturday.

 Walter is wearing several “hats” this year.  He will have two middle school students in NILD therapy, two different Math 7 classes (advanced and regular levels), is in charge of the middle school senate, and will be girls’ basketball coach.  Outdoor Ed. week falls at the end of the season and a tournament is at that time so he will need help during that week.  He is also the Discovery coordinator and will help the middle school principal a little.  (more…)
