Weekly Preview and Review

This was our second week of Christmas break - so, no lessons happening here. The kids have been sleeping late, playing a lot of video games, watching some movies, and generally just hanging out.

I got to go out to dinner with the Seeds of Faith leadership team on Tuesday night at a local steakhouse. I usually order pasta or chicken, but instead I tried the steak my friend recommended. TASTY!! And I loved the sweet potato fries I got as a side. Mmmmmm.....  We ordered a couple desserts to share, so I had a small slice of cheesecake and a few bites of a chocolate dessert. Lots of stimulating conversation too. Lovely night out. Oh, and our friend Vicki was our waitress!

David started the robotics build season with the kickoff at Kettering University on Saturday. From here on out, it will be eat-sleep-breathe robotics for him. Pray it's a good experience for him - to learn and enjoy!

Friday I had a meeting with the leadership team to discuss some plans for NEXT year. Yes, we are trying hard to look ahead and plan well for 2012-13. We got a lot accomplished and had a nice lunch together as well. One team member joined us via Google chat as she was not feeling well, so that was nice to have her input. Thank you, technology!

1/8 Sunday - Church, Movie?
Monday - Work 4, Karate, Soccer meeting, Robotics (D)
Tuesday - Work 4, Robotics (D), Mich History (S,E,J)

Thursday - Work 4,  Wordsmith class, Karate, Robotics (D)

Saturday - Robotics (D), baby shower (L)?
Sunday - Church

The three younger kids will be taking Michigan History on Tuesday nights for the next 3 months. David and Emily have taken it before, and now it's the younger kids' turn. Emily will probably go along; since it's a family price, she can go for no extra cost.

All our regular activities will be back in action this week, if they weren't already - karate, writing class, church. I am invited to a baby shower on Saturday and I'd like to go, but we'll see how far behind I am by Saturday.

I am working on some eating and exercise goals, but I'd like to get a little further in before I share details. Maybe on Wednesday....

Have a great week!
