Off to a smooth start, all three boys began school this morning. Charis had already begun last Wednesday. It's hard to believe that I've homeschooled the children for three years, but it felt right to take them to their community schools to become more of a part of Merced. We're on three campuses - Caleb (3rd) and Cameron (5th) at Fremont Elem., Connor (7th) at Rivera Middle, and Charis (9th) at Merced High. As no situation is totally ideal, we are very thankful for the provisions of God to grant us excitement, peace and protection for our kids. Connor knew NO ONE and even ate lunch by himself. I'm sure that'll change once he starts sports and learns his classmates better. Cameron didn't know anyone either, but once he got into his new room, he recognized someone from his Little League baseball team. Whew! That was an answer to prayer! Caleb, once he got on campus, took off and wasn't seen again until after school! Charis began Cross-Country team today and ran 3 1/2 miles. She came home pretty exhausted and we loaded her up with a chocolate milk and energy bar. I know just how sore she's gonna get before she gets more fit. So I know how to pray! The biggest challenge is going to be putting them to bed since they love watching the Olympics. Lord willing, we'll have a fun and special week returning to the rigor of school and schedule. I'm ready for summer to end...at least the heat!
