The girls and I have had a busy couple of weeks.
I'll begin by adding a little more information to my last post about getting married. I have known Mark for 3 1/2 years. I was there for him when his daughter died, and he was there for me when my ex-husband left the girls and I. What began as a good friendship gradually developed into more, and ten days ago we became husband and wife.
Softball season is now in full-swing. (no pun intended, lol) C had her first A-league game yesterday. They lost, but C got home to score 4 of the 8 runs her team had. She hit 2 singles, a triple, and got a lucky run on a dropped strike. She pitched 2 innings. E's first game will be tomorrow evening.
E and I managed to get in some good days of school in last week. As I said previously, we won't be doing a full-time school schedule, but I hope to work through E's Science, and finish teaching her cursive writing, and also keep up with working on her English. We didn't get to any English, but we DID complete 3 lessons in her science, which both of us are enjoying, and she learned FOUR new cursive letters, both capitol and lowercase. Her handwriting is still very labored, but her cursive is SO much prettier and neater than her printing.
C has now had 5 violin lessons. She has advanced very quickly though her beginner book; she is now half way through it. ( Lesson 100 out of 195 ) She is dedicated in practicing, and working very hard. Her teacher has notified us that this is his final year of teaching, and that when the summer is over, he won't be doing it anymore. As we both like him, and he appears to be doing a very good job instructing her, we are disappointed that after so many years of waiting to be able to get her a violin and a teacher, she will now be losing him so soon after beginning lessons. Please pray C can find another good music teacher with no lapses in her lessons.
My older 2 daughters, A and B, came to visit us yesterday. They both live within a couple hours drive of us, but it is rare we get to have all 4 of the girls together. I see A every few months, and B seems to just randomly drop in, but it isn't often they both are here together. They will be coming back in 2 weeks to see their little sisters play softball.
Another busy week is in store. I have 6 softball games in the next 6 days, plus violin lessons, and every spare minute we have the girls are playing with their friends (because they are unsocialized home-schoolers) working on small bits of school, and trying to keep up with house and yard work.
I'll write when I can.....blessings to all! : )
