Where have I been?

Can you believe it I have a few minutes to spare and share what we knughts have been up to.
I got the flu. I was down for 5 days. I am great now and don't wish the flu on anyone. My kids grew so much in those 5 days and Zoe says bigger words and tells stories. Scott was a great help and made up dinners for the remainder of the week. All the kids helped each other to get the important things done.

Soccer has started. KC has practice twice a week and has had 2 games so far. I actually pay attention to the game this season. I don't have any kids hanging on me and I have to keep track of who scores. I understand the game more now and it is so exciting and gets my heart racing at times.
Samantha has practice once a week and has had one game. It was so fun to watch the girls run on the field and to try to figure the game out. I think the funniest is when one girl falls all the girls stop to help. We don't keep score at this age but I saw it Sam scored. She loves the game but hates practice. She is a little disappointed that I am coaching and not Scott.
My Faith in God for girls program is doing well and we have had some big activities lately. I am so excited that Joshlynn will be joining me this month but with my luck they will release me, just as they did from cub scouts when KC joined.
We are planning Joshlynns baptism and having lots of spiritual discussions. She just recently went shopping with our friends the Lochabays. She spent her money well and even remembered to give Scott the change. She bought lip stuff and a rainbow skip ball. she got so bored looking at socks with the girls she was with, but enjoyed the conversation and and experience of what it would be like to have and older sister.
Jami is forever dancing and recently had the courage to talk to Scott and I about getting her ears pierced. We haven't let any of the girls pierce their ears yet but Jami has proven to us that she can take care of jewelry and her body. She has kept good care of her CTR ring since January and knows to keep it clean so her finger stays clean.
Scott is still wobbling around on his bummed knee and thinking hard about our upcoming business ventures.
We love you all and hope to have pictures to post soon.

Sorry for those that couldn't read the last survey I did so maybe this one that my sis Janell did will work.
