Busy, busy, busy

That's what life is like with 3 kids. Caleigh just turned 8 last weekend, and is now preparing for her First Communion. Brynna is just exploding with words, sentences, and imaginative play. Just the other week, she pretended to talk to Kevin on her toy cell phone to tell him that she found his sweater on her rocking horse and that I had to put it away for him. She may not know the words sister and brother, but she does refer to Caleigh and Aidan as "her Caleigh, yeah" and "her Aidan, yeah", lol.

The kids are doing well in school, except for some difficulty controlling/channelling emotional outbursts properly. I'm not sure how to help them figure this out, as I have trouble with the same issue myself.

Last fall, my father was diagnosed with cancer, and has, so far, received radiation and just started the 5th round of 6 chemo sessions. He's responding well as far as I know to the treatment. I hope that this continues.

I've recently joined the local weavers and spinners guild to try to get some time for myself to be out and around other adults. I'm hoping that I will also get a chance to learn how to properly use my spinning wheel and get at all of the fibre I have around the house.
