Fall break is approaching!
Camden has almost completed one quarter of his first year of school. I even noticed that not once last week did he say he doesn’t like school or doesn’t want to go. So that is a big step for him! Mark and I both volunteered in his class last week. Mark was a guest reader and got to go to lunch with him and I got to go to his Discovery Science class to help them with a paper making project. It was a lot of fun. We’ve got a handle on the homework thing too. We do a couple of the assignments over the weekend so we don’t have to do one on Wed and Thur night. Those are still rough evening for us. Camden is tired after 3 days of school and it shows when he gets home.
Carsten is doing well. His poor voice is almost gone. He had allergy induced croup this last week. We got right on top of it with steroids and he was feeling better pretty quickly, but since Sat afternoon his voice comes and goes. He is doing great with his vocabulary. He has too many words to count now. He has started to combine a few to make 2 word phrases but one of the words is always Mom, Dad, or Camden.
We are getting very excited about Fall Break and heading to New York. It is going to be a great trip. Our only concern at the moment is for Ken (my stepdad). He has been in the hospital for the last few days with acute pancreatitis. They have him eating again but he has developed a fever so they are watching him. We hope that he may come home tomorrow on a new low fat/fat free diet and a follow up appointment with the GI doctor 4 weeks later. We are praying for a quick and thorough recovery so that both of them can still go. Neither mom or Ken has ever been to NYC. It will be my first time too. Any prayers for Ken would be very much appreciated.
UPDATE: Ken came home from the hospital this afternoon. He gets to make the call about New York depending on how he feels.
