Updates and Things

In my last post, I mentioned that a lot has been going on in our house lately.  We've been quite busy!

Baseball
Jack has started playing modified pitch baseball this spring.  And he LOVES it!  Modified pitch baseball is a cross between t-ball and baseball.  The batter gets 4 pitches from his coach.  If he hasn't hit the ball by then, the T is brought out for the batter to hit off of. 


 


Jack is on the Cardinals team, and boy does he look adorable in his uniform. 



With 2 games a week plus a practice, Jack's baseball schedule keeps us on the go!

Homeschooling
Yes, homeschooling.  It reared it's ugly head again this past March.  And I haven't been able to shake the idea of it since.  Soooooo, we're going to homeschool the boys this Fall.  Cade will be in 3rd, and Jack will be in 1st.  We've already got curriculum purchased and a co-op (Classical Conversations) that we're joining.  And we are all very excited!  Claire will be going to mother's day out 3 days a week next year, so that will help with getting things done!  :)

I'll probably do another separate post on homeschooling since I am passionate and excited about it right now.  We'll see how excited I am come September after a long summer with all 3 kids at home!  :)

Scott's Job
Scott continues to love his job at Woodcreek Church.  He almost feels guilty for how much he enjoys the work!  He's been busy lately with different ministry projects that he oversees, and his job is going great. 

One of the difficult things about some ministry positions is the lack of quantifiable progress; it's hard to quantify a congregation's spiritual growth.  So it's difficult for Scott in particular to know if he's doing a good job.  He can feel like he's doing a good job, but there's no quantifiable proof to support that feeling.  And this is just something he's going to have to adjust to.  At AT&T where he worked before, there was plenty of empirical evidence to demonstrate that he did a stellar job.  At WC, it's a little bit more difficult to assess his progress in his job.
