In the J5 News Today....Company!

Mostly right now we lots of company visiting! Today Grammy and Grandpa arrived and it was even better because we totally surprised the kids! Grammy and Grandpa were supposed to arrive a few weeks ago right after the holidays on the 23rd, however, due to circumstances beyond their control they got stuck half way here and had to go home. The one challenge to flying space available. It was very disappointing and there was a lot of crying involved. So 2 days ago we got a call asking if they could try again, everything looked real good and B"H! Here they are. We opted not to say anything to the kids lest something go wrong again, so when they pulled up to the house today there was a lot of shrieking from S. We could hear him 4 flights up! The kids had gone out to play and the twins had come up already, but S was still there. Well it didn't take much to catch the ears of the other two as we could hear S all the way up the stairs, "Grammy and Grandpa are here!" It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately no pics! Rats!

We also have friends here from Portland. Hurray! B&G are here for a family wedding which we will also be attending. They were here for 1/2 a day on Sunday and a good time was had by all! We made stir fry and had a great dinner! We also got the kids to the park to burn off some extra energy!

Due to all the excitement home school has been a little slow this week, but tomorrow we will get back on track with extra hands to help out some! We also got some pretty neat math tools for school including Scooby Doo math books! I have a feeling math will look pretty cool tomorrow! Next Wed. we have our appointment with the Ministry of Education in Jerusalem so we are very excited and looking forward to that so we get our Ishur (official approval to home school) and move on with things in that end! In other home school news, KERITH!!!! Thanks for getting in touch! I hope to hear more from you! GL said she would put me in touch with you, so I hope that is OK! Can't wait to hear about your adventures in home schooling.

As it is 11:00pm here I think I will be calling it a day. Lots done, but again, so much left to do..but tomorrow is another day and I will have help to get it all done!

All the best,

Love,
The busy mommy of TheJ5!

Hi!!!! We have our blog at earlix.blogspot.com with lots of cooking and homeschooling stuff. It's really our "Dear Grandpa" letter. Or sometimes dear friend. Or sometimes, Hey, you, with the mommy brain, you'd better write this down so you don't forget it later... Actually that's really what it is. :)
