It's a kid explosion

It felt like our home exploded in children last night. Here is how it went:
2 kids at home
1 kid returned home
1 kid came back from college to visit
1 grandchild visiting
1 foster child
3 additional foster children.
-------
9 kids. Wow

Wonder why I am tired today.

UPDATE
- 1 went back to college
- 1 grandchild went home
-/+ 1 other fc came and went (24 hour respite)
---------------------
Down to 7 kids at home (and Friday morning there were 3). Getting everyone ready for school should be a riot!!!

Mid life?

Does starting TaeKwonDo at the age of 45 constitute a mid life crises. I don't think so. I is a lot of fun, great exercise and I get to do it with two of my kids.

Coming back - I think

I have been away from this blog for more than a year but I am going to try and come back. Since playing catch-up is nearly impossible I will just update the recent news.

Hayden turned one on August 14th. She is so adorable. Baby sister Hadley is due to arrive on this earth on October 20th. Heather is hoping she comes early even if it is a scheduled C-section.

David, Jasmine and I are learning TaeKwonDo. Kurt and Kurt II are already black belts so we have a lot of work to do to catch up. Brittany will also be starting soon. In August we all earned our yellow belts. I figure if I stick with it and test regularly I will get my black belt the week before I turn 47.

David and I are trying home school this year. He practically begged us so we are going to do it a year at time. So far it is going well.

Kurt was called as the Young Men's president last Sunday. I am excited for him and think he will really love it.

I am still in Cub Scouts and have made it known I never want to be released. Of course I will be someday but I can always try.

Cornell has started his first year at University of Nebraska at Kearney.
