Things are starting to feel somewhat normal again around here. We have got back into our groove of morning scripture study again. It really seems to be working and the early hour isn't too hard on everyone. Ashley was a little resistant this morning but she showed up and that is what is the most important. The girls left for school and I focused more on getting this blog(journal) caught up. I have a lot to do but every little bit helps. I had this thought that I should email President Eyring and thank him for his thoughts during the parent meeting. I didn't expect to hear anything back but he emailed me back.
All these little tender mercies help me see more and more that Madison is going to be ok. I love that she is at such a wonderful place.
Ashley had a cross country meet today. She has been struggling with practicing because the air quality has been so bad. I know that her asthma was really bothering her but she did not let that hold her back. She ran the mile in half and did not give up. She did do more walking then last meet but that doesn't matter she finished. She was the last one to come in and it was so amazing to see everyone cheering her on. I love this sport and especially seeing how her school cheers everyone on.
This sport has been so good for her. She has so many friends she is doing this with and she has made lots of new friends also.
Ashley wasn't quite done with her day after the meet. We headed home to pick up her stuff for soccer practice and piano.
Tuesdays are a crazy day for her until the end of September.
Allison worked on getting caught up after missing school last week. She also worked on some family history. She installed the app on her phone a few months back and it is fun to see her get excited when she gets a notification about a new possible family member. She has reserved about 50 names for baptism in the last few days. I am glad that she can still fit in things like family history while she has such a big load at school. I love seeing her prioritize things.
Madison finally has got registered for all the classes that she needs. She has four on campus classes and two online classes. I think that it is a good load to start out her first semester with. She has also been making friends.
Every time I talk to her she seems happier and happier to be at school. She actually ask if she could live there in the winter and work while she takes a couple of online classes. I don't think it is a good idea since she can live here for free and save more money that way but I never thought that she would be asking something like this a couple of days ago.
Kevin has been busy all day at a conference in Salt Lake. We haven't been able to talk much today. Friday can't come soon enough so he can come home.
