THE TWO "E"s :)

Some of the information given here may seem choppy or inconclusive.This is a “running blog” and a continuation of a much greater story.You are encouraged to go to the main web-site to catch-up or read previous blogs.These blogs tell the story of Christian I(100% DAV, homeschooling pastor-dad with M.S.)and Christian II (son 3 years old-T1 diabetic)-BOTH TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR SERVICE DOGS!



Thank you for coming! If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know :-)


Christian I – I love to write about whatever YOU want me to write about.  However, I’m actually glad that I didn’t receive any comments last night. I have a great idea! Please feel free to continue to send your comments in, but until you do I’m going to have the children do some blogging. :)


Today, I have no idea why, but I’ve got some serious paralysis in my hands and I can barely speak. So, having Ethan blog with my seven year old Elizabeth (the two E’s) is the course of action for today. I asked them to focus on the question, “What is your regular day like?” –and they will take it from there.


Elizabeth's turn – (Ethan is taking over now by interacting with and typing for her.) When asked what her regular day is like, Elizabeth responded, “This morning I got up and brushed my hair and teeth and got dressed. Then I cleaned my room and made my bed. I also did my morning jobs (chores) and we ate oatmeal.
Then I asked her, “Do you like oatmeal, Elizabeth?" and she said, "Yes, because I like putting milk and honey in it." “What did you do when breakfast was finished?” “I did school" she said. “I did my letter I book, math, music and penmanship. I finished my school! Now, I’m writing this blog." "God bless you!" she shouts! (She wanted to make sure that I wrote that!)
Ethan's turn – Elizabeth left out a lot of detail, so I’ll fill in the gaps. We woke up and did various things before Mom and Dad got us to work (playing, reading, and wrestling). Then we started our chores (like sweeping the floor, wiping off couches and glass tables, etc.) - While Mary had to go to the Orthodontist to get her braces fixed (For she broke them the night before playing football at our church).

So Mary and mom left for the orthodontist, and at this time they are still there. We finished our chores and had oatmeal while Joshua was enthusiastically talking about the aforesaid football game at our church.

While we were talking, the funniest thing happened. While Joshua was talking he lifted his glass of water and did something with it. I’m not sure what, but his bowl broke with oatmeal in it. So there he sat with a bowl that was split in half. We all thought this was funny. Mom may not though when she comes home :(

After we did our (breakfast) cleanup chores, we started our school (you know, math, brain exercises, reading, etc.) but the weather was so beautiful that Dad wanted me to come outside. So outside we went. After we started a fire in our outdoor fireplace, (which is normal procedure now for blog writing); we took my picture that we are required to post on the National Bible Bee website (I was 73rd out of 1196 contestants. I needed to get into the top 120th place in the nation to qualify for the national level).
I believe Dad (Christian I) is posting this picture at the bottom of this blog. And after we took the picture, we started writing this blog. We’ll finish our school later this day and I will spend tonight studying for the Bible Bee mentioned above, not that it is irksome.
Rather, I obtain joy studying God’s word, not only because I want to make it to the Semi-Final challenge round, but because I learn more and more about Christ and His Love.
Christian II – (Ethan blogging) Dad has asked me to report on little Christian today. His blood sugars are up and down again, but not as high or as low as they were yesterday. He is the most loveable three year old boy in the world in this beautiful weather!  :)  He is doing all right today, but with diabetes we can never know what is going to happen next. Just as my dad says, we need that dog! :)
