This will be a good test for him whether engineering is where he wants to be.

No science this semester.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He is taking Spanish II with Hannah which is not going to transfer for engineering but we need it for high school. Hopefully they will help each other study and both do well.<\/p>\n<p>Ben is busy with basketball almost every day. Practice or games or watching film. He attends youth on Tuesdays and is my helper at Connections parties. We had lots of family time including Tday at Bandera, Nov birthdays at CP, Christmas at Bandera and CP, and NYE at Bandera. Got to see the Schaders and WA Moehrings. Benjamin turned 16 and didn&#8217;t want a party so we just had cake at home. We have tried a couple times to get his license but have had issues at each appointment. We had church Christmas and caroling as well at NYE bingo and worship. Ben got to stay in CP with the other kids to go to River Walk and SA zoo. He was also a helper at our day camps since he was on break from MCC. He is still our main tach man at church but we&#8217;re hoping to train up some others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 weeks down!
