At the start of a brand new week, we'd so appreciate your prayers for Kristin in her last week of school before Christmas vacation.  For reasons unknown, she has been particularly difficult at school, preventing her (and no doubt, others) from learning.  The staff has been vigilant in protecting her safety, but we all understand that her current school isn't set up for the type of behavior that Kristin seems unable to rein in.  We have a placement meeting scheduled for Tuesday to discuss other school options.  We want Kris to learn appropriate social behavior in the school setting as well as make progress in her learning.  Thanks for praying with us that a good solution will be arrived at...a place that we all agree would be the right fit for her.  

Benjamin has his next procedure scheduled for Wednesday.  He seems to be doing better than last week at this time, so maybe we will make it through Christmas without surgery.  It would be so good to be able to help Krissy settle in after break before I have to go back to the hospital. I don't actually think this surgery should be BIG....I am optomistically thinking we could be in and out pretty quickly, but no one has said yet.

For those of you not in the area, we awoke to a sheet of ice outside this morning, but by afternoon we were able to be out and about without a problem.  Thankfully they don't predict low temperatures tonight, which is good for Larry who has to travel to a higher elevation to work.

Have a great week~

Love Janelle
