Sorry, posts coming

Umm, I'm a lazy bum.

I will have a posts up soon about our trip to Salem and the last day of school. And soon, graduation.

Salem trip planning smooth, fundraising about done

That’s the news that today’s Salem trip meeting brought. Mr. Buck still wants to raise a couple hundred more in order to have some padding, but the estimated trip cost is a bit under $2,000. Way cheaper than going to D.C., that’s for sure.

So that’s that. Sounds like it’s going to be a nice trip. Mr. Buck painted a lush picture of Silver Falls State Park as a paradise we would retreat to after a day’s outings. And at the crazy affordable rate of 200 something dollars for 11 people for several days (that’s in two cabins).

We need new markers

Continuously. And since we’re a poor homeschool co-op we don’t always get shiny, cool new equipment. Arg. At least I don’t have to write stuff on the board all the time.

Hello, alive and well

Just wanted to check in and say "Hello, we are alive and well." Therefore…

Hello, we are alive and well.

Now to elaborate. The cooperation started off well enough. It was weird having a half day -- made me feel like a real homeschooler. Which reminds me, the official, suitably generic sounding name for the shebang is CHC - Christian Homeschool Co-op.

So anyway, we've gotten through two weeks of it already. The whole 1 half day, 1 off day, one half day on the other side of the day, 1 half day, weekend schedule is throwing me for a bit of a loop, but I can adapt. I just need to learn to manage my time right.

So anyway, if you read this post, pray for us. We could always use it.

LeeAnna and Joella were back today after being absent Tuesday and Wednesday because of illness. Dusty left early for a track meet. Ashley is absent still; she has the flew, yuck.

Some good news about Isaiah: he is to be admitted to the Southwest Idaho Acute Care Hospital after all. Thank God for that!

Also, I changed the feed URL for the CaringBridge journal. It is now

another today

LeeAnna is down with a sinus infection and Joella is sick with something, too. Pray for them, especially LeeAnna - sounds really not fun. Ashley also went home early this afternoon - illness of some sort, I didn't get the details.

We got out and went home a period before usual; it was just study hall and we didn't need to stay, plus it gave Mr. Buck some more time. He took of for Lewiston this afternoon.

Isaiah has been showing very good signs and seems to be slowly waking up. Hope and pray. You can check out updates at the CaringBridge website set up for him. I also have created a feed with Feed43 which is funneled into the blog (look up ^^^) via a Feed Informer widget; you can also plug it into a feed reader if you want.

[Note: July 02 2009: a while back I switched it from Feed Informer to Feed2Js.]

Anna absent and Marshall Cox guest

Title pretty much says it; Anna has a cold and so was absent today. Marshall Cox was a guest at school today, for some reason or another.

we're all back together

Thank God for answering my prayer that we'd all be back together again soon! Today was the first day in a while that all the students of Providence Academy were in attendance. LeeAnna had been the missing one (for a shorter time) this time. And, it seems maybe Ashley doesn't/didn't have mono, since she is feeling better so soon.

But please pray for Mr. Buck, as he is getting sick once again, and he's under a lot of stress anyway. And please pray/continue to pray for Mr. Obama, especially during this crucial time of beginning.

Ashes is back, LeeAnna still gone

Not much else to say than that, except congrats to Mr. Obama, and I will be praying for him, as I hope you all will.

And… I hope to work on the template this weekend. Hopefully we can make this blog a little more of a jumping off point/social center/whatever.

TTFN.
Nat.
