Living with teenagers

I have been wanting to get on here and get another post done, but it has been another long busy week. I have had to come into work early every day too. We have started opening the clinic early for fasting bloodwork and this week was my turn to come in early and open up. So, my usual evening hours for being online have been cut short because I am too tired by then to think of anything to post. Right now I am sitting here at work, posting while I wait for the first patient to come in. So, it will be short.

KJ had another volleyball game last night and also one on Tuesday night. I just love watching her play. She has really gotten good and it makes me proud to watch her. You can tell that she loves it. And, Brian also loves to go and watch her play. Both girls had away games last night and he and I chose to go and watch KJ. Not that Heather isn't pretty good too, but KJ is so much more fun to watch (at least in my opinion). Heather has a good serve but she doesn't get as much action as KJ. I can't wait until they are all in high school and we can watch them all play. I think they will be very good by then.

I so enjoy watching the kids grow up even though their teen years are and will be trying, but they could be so much worse. Reassures me that I did do something right in raising them. KJ is still defining herself as a person, figuring out where she fits in, and which classmates and friends suit her best. Ty has moved on to different friends than he had when he was younger, some choices I am not so sure about, but I know that he knows what is right and trust that God will lead him to making the right decisions. He didn't even fight me this past Sunday about going to church. The last few he has argued with me about not wanting to go and wanting to sleep in, but this time he got right up. I guess it helps that church is at 10:30 now instead of 8:30. :) I wonder about his faith sometimes, but I guess time will tell.

Well, I better get to work and will probably post this evening and definitely soon after our ride tomorrow. The leaves have really changed colors and I hope to get some beautiful pictures along the river. Maybe I can get a friend to take our picture together with the bike too.
