This Weekend

This is where I'll be this weekend. I'm looking so forward to it. Dh and I haven't gone away overnight since before Dessert was born. I'm only nervous about how Darling will handle it, but I know she will be in good hands and having fun. It's just at night where I worry she'll keep her Grandparents up. Pray for them. :-) Our kids will be parceled out at five spots for the weekend. They are all as eager for their activities and friend fun.

My boys had Vision Therapy progress checks yesterday and they are all moving at a steady clip forward. I have noticed that schoolwork for the younger two (whom I sit with - I don't sit and watch the bigger guys work - so I wouldn't notice the difference as much) is going faster than it used to. I told my big guys yesterday, how sorry I was that I didn't pursue this for them when they were younger. They just reminded me that I didn't know about it. They are right, but I'm still sorry. It would have helped them and me so much. I was amazed how well Duke is doing with reading compared to where he was last year. I was going to have him read all summer to keep him from losing ground. Then they told us not to have them read before we started Vision Therapy to give their eyes a break. It took a couple months to get started with the process, so they all had a good long break. Duke picked up reading for school reading better than he ended last year. I was flabbergasted. It sure helps with the speed of school! I am hoping by the end of Vision Therapy and the end of the school year, we can have him at his proper reading level. Lord willing.

We've been waaaay busy the last couple of weeks, but I just have a couple more little major things to finish, and then I think we'll settle back into busy-but-not-crazy-busy. I am looking forward to that. I slept in a little this morning, but I better get myself and the crew going so that we can all get to our parties on time!! :-)

Let's make it a GREAT weekend!!
