School!

Guess what, folks?? I am done with school for the year! Well, I still have to finish my book report book, research paper, and continue to do some art and music. Then I am going to read some more in my science book and do some review type things in math. And then every week read a science article and current events type thing once a week and orally tell mom about it. Then that stuff will end this month I am sure...so I will just maybe do some music and art type stuff through the summer. So no more sit down and watch school videos anymore!!!!

Esther and I are sooo excited about Thursday because if plans go, we will be at my Grandma and Grandpa Englunds' and we are going to go over to their church and they have some rooms downstairs with chalkboards and we are going to "teach" some of the things we are going to do like math and science for me! EEEKKK!! I want to be a teacher when I get older, of course!

Well, little update...I am tired and please keep our family in your prayers the next 3 weeks...lots of chemo treatments ahead!

God is IN CONTROL!!!

Hey all!

Heyyy, everyone! How is life for you all this week so far? Life is great for me!

Dad had to go to the hospital unexpectedly for his white blood cell count was down. So he was in the hospital from Wednesday night until Saturday noon. Over that period of time we have discussed and figured out that we are going to try and just stop school maybe tomorrow. We have talked with a teacher and he says we are well educated and thinks we can stop right now. This would take a huge burden off us all to get school out of the way and focus on getting dad well and taking care of ourselves. Dad is doing really good and has his head shaved now! Anyway, mom is going to try to talk with A Beka today and see about all of this. So, I am psyched and need to get back to my homework..but just giving you a little update! Have a great day and drink Lipton Lemon Iced Tea! =)

P.s hoodie from Jonathan and Darla! thanks a ton guys!

Thought Provoker

In Science, I have these Thought Provokers that I sometimes have to answer. And sometimes they are a bit challenging...but here is one that I answered on my own and mom didn't have to add anything but "Good answer!"

To the materialist, man is no more important that any other part of nature. How does the popularity of abortion show the strong influence of materialism in today's world?

My answer:
Well people kill cows, for example, for beef and not very many people think that's wrong. A cow is a part of nature. To a materialist, if they believe man isn't as important as and other part of nature, they wouldn't think it was wrong to kill an amazing child in the womb. It shows that people must really be nuts in thinking that since it's ok to kill a cow, it must be ok to kill a child because they think man is just as important as a cow. Cows and other things DON'T have souls like babies, children and all ages of MAN have.


Comment and let me know what your answer would be to the question.

Signing out, Luanna

Life...these days!

I know it has been a loonngg time since I have done a blog post. =) We have moved and are settled into our temporary home and are enjoying living there. My parents have signed a contract on our house and so now I guess we have to start looking at some houses and thinking about that. I am not really looking forward to moving again..but thankfully we are going to be able to stay at our temp house as long as we need! =) So, maybe a month or more we will be in that same house. I know that this time I won't be able to post pictures because I am on my aunt's computer....but if you are a friend of my mom's on facebook you can see pics of our house. If not, let me know and I can post them on here!

We are also back into doing school..as much as I don't want to do school, I know I need to get a going and get done and look forward to an amazing summer! It is definitely going to be different!

Well, I will talk to you later! Have a wonderful week....

Moving!

Well, we moved! Thursday April 8...we were planning to move Thursday evening and then on Friday but actually we basically got all moved Thursday! We had LOTS of help and if you were one of them, Thank you! We moved four house down. See the story is...our agent Micki Shreve lived four house down from us. And since this happened mom just said take the house off the market. Well, ended up Billy and Micki decided that we could swap houses..since they have a ranch and they were basically already moved out of the top floor because they had had wood floors put in, new counter tops, and they had the cabinets in the bathrooms and kitchen stripped and re-stained! And they might have done a little bit of painting too. Anyway, they are going to live in our house until it sells and then if we still are living in their house when they need somewhere to go, they will live in the RV. They don't want us to rush getting out of here for them. They want us to stay here as long as we need. Eventually we will get a house built or something. Anyway, so far this house is working out great! And we like it! Soon, I will take pictures..(me or mom) and will put them on here. Julie and Karson's room isn't quite ready for pictures! If you know what I mean! =) Well, I better sign off...school starts in 9 minutes. Here we go another day.......

P.S we found out that if dad does do chemo (which he prob will) he will have 28 weeks of it. with breaks in between. some treatments will end up being hospital stays and some he can do out-patient. please keep us in your prayers.

More to follow soon...about moving!! =)

What has happened to us in the past 2 weeks....

Well, folks two weeks ago today my dad broke his leg and was taken to Shawnee Mission and then KU. They did a surgery Tuesday to fix his leg and found that he had bone cancer. That Wednesday we were allowed to the hospital and mom and dad told us about the cancer and told us that he would have his right leg removed. =( Our lives changed March 20th when dad broke his leg. We saw him almost everyday....finally he came home yesterday and he is very glad to be home. Me being "mommy" for about 2 weeks (with a few breaks) is partially over now! But for now and forever I will help mom with the kids and help dad with things he needs. I already do! We now have real equipment when we want to play nurse! A wheelchair, a walker, a comode, crutches, and then we have a bath chair where dad can slide into the shower or back out! =) Cool, huh? Well, this new life will be something we will have to get used to but we will! And with God's help as well. We can't forget that!

Thanks for the prayers and PLEASE KEEP THEM UP!

Luanna
