Catching Up

I did little research today to show you various topics I have been talking about the past few days. PLU is an university in Tacoma/Parkland area I went to on last Friday, Lake Wilderness is where we threw pinecones into the water on Saturday, Gary Morse is the prophet from the Austin TX area, and Faith and Victory Church is were I was the last three days to hear Gary minister.

1. Pacific Lutheran University... you can find out information about it HERE.


2. Lake Wilderness Park... you can find out about it HERE.


3. Gary Morse... you can find out about his ministry HERE.

Today I had Riley to transport to school but Brady was with Kari because they had an appointment with the school district to assess Brady's need for Special Education. After two hours, they accepted Brady into the program. He will get picked up from his daycare to go to the program at one of the elementary schools and be brought back again. We wanted Riley to go into this program last year but the person in charge didn't approve Riley. However, the school district staff is going to reassess Riley. They feel now that maybe some things were overlooked. On one hand it is hard to hear that your children have special needs but on the other one has to put those feelings aside and do the best thing for the child. In the long run, it is possible that because of getting help as early as possible they may not have the frustrations in school and in life that Kari or other family members have had to endure.

I spent the rest of day at my desk trying to catch up from when I am out away from the college recruiting and doing other things. I like be out and doing the things I do but I also like being on the campus. It is a treat to do the other if I have many days doing one thing. Does that make sense? I guess what I mean is that I like the variety.

Aaron isn't feeling well now. He seems to have a cold but doesn't seem to be running much of a fever. Hopefully he can throw it. He likes to take Airborne. Kari tried it when she was ill and she thought it really helped. So there are two endorsements.

Kari is working hard in her marketing class. She called me tonight reading to me what she wrote for a presentation. It is good to hear her be excited about something that she is really good at doing.

Valentine's Day is this week. Dave doesn't want to go out on the evening everyone else is going out... meaning on Thursday. I am OK with not going out exactly on the day... I would like to hit it somewhere within the week though, and prior to the holiday (afterwards it seems not as festive). So we are going out tomorrow night. I have chosen to try a new restaurant in the Southcenter mall area. It is a Cheesecake Factory (I wonder how many points this could add up to? I better start to think up how to get around big point items on the menu.) They don't have a picture of the new restaurant that I want to try out but here is the one in downtown Seattle across from the convention center.

Well, I will sign off now. Everyone in the family is already in bed and asleep at 9:30pm. I better get there too. Have a great Tuesday... Hugs. Good Night!
