This morning Jared and I had an appointment at the Jr High for Jacob's IEP.  The special ed teacher said if she could pick one word to describe Jacob it would be diligent. She said he never gives up. This year Jacob isn't using any medicine for ADHD and it sounds like he's doing good.  The secretaries keep telling me they miss seeing him during the day.  After the meeting Jared and I took a drive to Runyan's for glaze ingredients and clay.  We had a lot of fun looking around in there.  This afternoon I met Vikki at my parents house.  Then Mom, Vikki, and I went to the dog park with Lenny.  Vikki and I headed to a nearby park so Lenny could swim.  He had rolled in something stinky at the dog park.  We hiked the trail around the pond.  Then we went back to my parents house for awhile.  Vikki left to get her kids from school.  Mom and I went outside and helped Dad who was putting shingles on his shed roof.  Adam had soccer practice this evening.  His coach was talking to the kids while they sat in the grass.  He asked Adam to stand up and had all the kids give him high fives.  He talked about what Adam did right at the last game.  It started pouring after we left practice.  This evening Jared and I threw on the wheel with some new clay we got from the pottery store.  Kenzie surprised us with a visit this evening!  We talked with her while we finished spinning and then tucked in the boys.  Norman was so happy to see her!  I made her a shake and we visited more after the boys were in bed.  She headed home around 10pm.  We sent her with a new mug and some honey.  Its been awhile since she's been over and this was such a great surprise!
