| Celebrating Grandma's birthday |
-Enedina's fiance, Santos, was picked up and detained by ICE for months. We hired a lawyer, but unfortunately Santos was deported to Guatemala. The whole situation is heart-breaking. Enedina's family was split up- she lost her fiance and the kids lost their Dad. We continue to be so proud of Enedina. She is raising 3 kids, working, and trying to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. We are praying a way can be found to bring Santos back to the US.
-Nate and Isaac continue to enjoy coaching and playing basketball. We have some good videos of Isaac playing, too bad we can't share them on the blog.
-I took Lexi to the allergist because of her ongoing hives. She had testing done and she has some mild environmental like dust, pollen, etc. The Dr said her body reacted to a virus and her system is still on high alert and breaks out in hives at any form of stress (cold, exercise, tight clothing, etc.) The Dr. put her on zyrtec twice/day and singulair once/day for 2 months and then continue the zyrtec for another month. The idea is to flood her system with antihistamines, suppress reactions and hopefully once she is weaned off her body will no longer overreact.
-Caleb and two other trumpet players participated in solo and ensemble and they received a score of 2! The scores range from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest).
-Nate and the kids made me feel loved for my 41st birthday and Nate and I were able to go out for an evening.
-We took care of Jovanni for a weekend. He is 4 years old and Tim/Jenny's foster son. He is a cute kid, but we were tired by the end!
-The Lunar New Year was Jan 24. As a family we decided to celebrate the holiday at school. We made Chinese long life noodles, had dried seaweed, and Chinese almond cookies for Stephen, Lexi and Isaac's classes (also potstickers for his class). For Julia's class we made Korean rice cake soup, potstickers, had seaweed and almond cookies. It was a lot of food prep, but all of the students enjoyed the food.
-Nate took the girls to Grand Rapids for a Chinese New Year celebration. The event turn out was massive, so they couldn't really see/participate in the activities.
-I was assigned my first Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) case. I have a sibling group of 3 kids. The kids are in foster care and I will advocate for them and make recommendations to the court about what is in their best interest.
-We had Grandma and Grandpa over to celebrate her birthday!
