Rex is really enjoying his new job. He works long hours and he is truly a red neck now, I can't remember his face ever being so tan, but his neck is definitely red! I bought him some sun tan lotion to use:) Rex says God had us stay up north so long so we could really appreciate the south. It is hard not to have wished we didn't move down here a long time ago but we know that is not what the Lord had planned for us.
The kids went swimming last Friday night at our friend's house. This is the first time they have ever gone swimming in an outside pool in March!!!!! Geneva jumped in where it was too deep for her and Danielle scooped her up, Geneva kept saying,"I'm going to live, I'm going to live". She is so dramatic. We have almost been here for 6 months now. Time has really flown by. When we go to the library or grocery store we usually run into someone we know. Last month there was someone looking at a house for sale on the block we live on and it happened to be someone Rex went to High School with, it's a small world after all:)
Rexford graduates in May! WOW. He will be measured for his gown and cap this week. Rexford got a promotion at his job. Isaac's birthday is this weekend. He is going to have an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins, they have the best ice cream cakes! Danielle reads a lot, she reads one book after another. She has finished her science book already this year in school. She has also grown a lot, she is a couple inches shorter than me and Lilly is only one inch behind. Isaac is 6 feet tall already. Geneva is coming along fabulously with her reading program in school, next year I will only have 5 in home school! Then the following year only 4! Ethan is getting over his queasiness and hopes to go into the medical/dental field now, he enjoys science/chemistry so much it just seems natural for him.
We have found this DVD of Pilgrims Progress called Dangerous Journey http://www.amazon.com/Dangerous-Journey-Michael-Cramer/dp/B000A0GYFU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1205755546&sr=8-3 We were watching clips of it on answers in genesis website and decided to buy it off amazon, it is a few dollars cheaper there.
In Geneva's health class she has learned about junk food and healthy food, she asked if fish was a healthy food or junk food, when I told her fish was good for her, she was dismayed....lol she wanted it to be on the junk food list. LOL For a few weeks she was always asking if something was healthy before she ate it. Last week she had a couple of oranges she starting throwing up in the air singing "Vegetables and fruit are good for you" over and over and then adding fruits and vegetables to her song.
I threw in some recent photos of the kids outside in the winter! I am still not used to the weather, usually when I walk outside I am amazed how nice it is.
