Into The Woods

It has been over a week since I posted anything with substance. We have been a bit busy. Not just with baby Judah, but we have had birthday parties and a new king size mattress to deal with and a huge decision all in the past week.

After talking and thinking and praying Adam and I made the decision to send the boys back to school. I enjoyed homeschooling - but could tell the boys desperately missed the everyday interaction with other kids. We called Evangel Heights but they only had room for Elijah, so that was not an option. I really did not want to send them to Armstrong and I was a mess over it emotionally. I felt that if I sent them there it would be like sending them into the dark woods all alone. It just wasn't what I wanted. However, with a new baby and 6 people living, working and schooling all together all the time in a small house - it just was not working. Something had to change and I could see the boys needed to be around other kids again - even if it meant sending them to public school.

Yesterday was their first day and wow were they excited. They were both a little nervous, but they both had great days and I feel a little more at ease with it. I missed them terribly and that won't get better, but I can see that this was indeed the best choice for our family. They are both on the waiting list at Evangel Heights for next year - so we are all praying the Lord will work it out!

Josiah missed Elijah and Isaiah also and asked where they were all day. He did find time to help himself to a snack while I was nursing Judah. He even tried to clean it up all by himself too.
