Another day in the life of the Gonzo's...

Soccer and Volleyball are keep us running here and there everyday now. Soon Michaela will be in basketball as well. We are blessed to have talented young athletes! However, if their grades begin to slip that will be the first to go... sports. They have been warned and are actually handling academics and sports quite well so far. Late nights and early morning piano and flute practice is a norm around our house. Thankfully they enjoy this as well so it has not been a big deal to remind them.

Ben is thoroughly enjoying his academic teaching load this semester. He has been very excited to be teaching US Government this year along with his Choir, Music, and several P.E. classes. He has commented many times how he wishes he could be a student in his own Government class. He loves it that much! We are reminded daily how blessed we are to be apart of the GCS & North Flushing Baptist families. 2 completely separate ministries in which both are going great.

Tonight we are working on a Tree Project and a Mammal Project. Fun fun.... not my favorite thing to do, but we do enjoy the time we get to spend with them during this time. I think we need to invest in a large quantity of poster boards. The joys of 5th and 6th grade projects :)

The early mornings are starting  to take a toll on Brooklyn. She just begs to sleep a little longer when I wake her on most mornings. Tonight daddy offered to rub her back (we're hoping she can get to sleep earlier tonight), she LOVES it when we itch her back before bed. She requests that every single night. Most nights I do scratch it for a few minutes and she gets so relaxed and loves it.

I better get off of the computer for now. It's time for me to round up the older two for bed.

Deuteronomy 28:6
Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
