Snow day, graduation and birthdays oh my!

We are happy to finally have our babies at the clinic in storage with all legal rights transferred to us!  We have a set date now for the embryo transfer which is September 17th (affectionately known as "snow day" at our house)!!  I begin medicines around August 1st and we are praying for low side effects and strength.  The funniest part right now is when we pray at night with the little ones and Caelyn (age 7) keeps saying with big eyes...pray for our babies..they are in the freezer and have to survive the Fall (she means thaw)!  Then Cam and Corey start asking questions: in the freezer?  Caelyn says yes but they are small like dust.  Cam and Corey: like dust on the ground...and so it goes and Mom reminds them that it's complicated and that we can pray and let God handle the details :)

It seems like life is now arranged around our snow day!  We have begun school for a few kids.  Christian is doing My Father's World this year and loving the switch to Teaching Textbooks (after years of being a Math-U-See family).  Caleb has started Personal Finance, Health and Horticulture and will be doing BJU DVDs for one more year.  Our little ones are doing MFW Adventures and we have completed 4 weeks now in anticipation of taking some breaks this Fall due to snowflake babies :)  The only adjustment I've had to make is to make sure we make a distinct change between subjects...a few weeks ago I asked them "where Jesus lives now?"  And Cam (age 6) said "Jamestown?"

In other news, our princess graduated from high school and is now an official full time college student online at Baptist Bible College with a scholarship that takes care of most of her expenses.   Her ceremony was a blessing to reflect on God's goodness to our family and the many "stones of remembrance" she has in her life to remember His faithfulness.  We were blessed by grandparents being able to fly in and several friends from our years in Ohio.

We had a huge birthday season topped by the very important birthday of Cam who turned 6 on June 30th and talked for a year about his desire for a Star Wars theme party.  He is definitely a little prince at our house and charms everyone with his smile and his love of all things Star Wars.

God has been so good to us and blessed us with a fun-filled June and His strength for all seasons!
