Kids bedroom ceiling

I can't believe it, the kids dangerous-soon-to-fall-in-ceiling is fixed! The room has been freshly painted and the kids are back in it now enjoying their dad reading them a story.
The man who fixed out ceiling was Ben O'lery. He goes to church with us and is definitely a God sent. He's honest, does good work, and kept his promises! I was starting to think those qualities didn't exist with contractors. Yeah!!

Ringing update

The Dr. Laurel Romer thinks the ringing is from too much aspirin. She asks that I dial back on the amount of aspirin I use. If possible I'm suppose to not use any aspirin and see if it goes away. If it doesn't subside, then it's off to the ENT doctor. Well, I've been aspirin free for about 2 weeks now and the ringing has been less frequent. Yay!!

Quest Open House performances.

Last night was Quest Open House. Parents and friends gathered at Roxbury Church here in town to see all the things the kids have learned this semester. We had a great time! Matt switched his work schedule to a day shift so he could attend. I can't even express how great that was to have him there. Matt was the camcorder operator which allowed me to attend to my ASL (Sign Language) students. Here are some videos of the students showing off the ASL stories they learned. All the stories are fictional except Zach's story which was an introduction.







They all did a wonderful job. The ASL course I used to teach my students was created by a Deaf Director / Instructor / Webmaster: William G. Vicars. His full course can be found at: www.lifeprint.com

Next set of vids are about Kindom series Medieval History class. This class was taught by Iaci Flanders. She was awesome. Always engaging the kids, making history come alive and interesting.

This next video has two boys from the medieval history class sword fighting with swords made out of PVC pipes.

Okay, last video. Zach talks about his Templar Knight costume. He talks really quiet so it is hard to hear what he says. But he basically explains that he pick being a Templar Knight because it's the only costume Mom knew how to make :). It's funny, because Matt made most of it.

Sam sang several songs for her choir class and Spanish class

Ring, ring...hello?

I've been experiencing ringing in my left ear. It's not a constant ringing, but it comes and goes. I don't really know what started it. I'm guessing it happen around the time I got a cold about 3 weeks ago. The cold was kinda bad but I didn't think it was that bad. Anyway, I set up an appointment for tomorrow, April 2nd. I really hope it goes away. It's annoying and causing problems for interpreting.
