Weeks of September 16th and 23th

This week started Fall Skills for the Explore students. Zach helped teach climbing again. The students are broken into 4 groups that rotate through 4 different "skills". Each rotation is 3 days, with Sundays off. The skills are rock climbing, challenge course, rafting, and kayaking. During these 2 weeks of Fall Skills, the kids and I continued our "normal" schedule. Zach was still able to make it to Josiah's soccer games which was so cool! Josiah started gymnastics with several of the Camp kids. It's during Conrad's school time, so he will get to join later when school is out, or next year when he's at home with us.
Josiah has a salivary gland that swells up occasionally and sometimes becomes infected. After several years of this happening on and off, we went to an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist. There's more to this story than I'm going to type out right now, but after attempting an MRI, (which was pretty scary for a 6 year old, though he really gave it a good try) we are now waiting and praying for direction for what we should do and how invasive we should get with this. We're feeling pretty good that it's not something serious, but would like to have a for-sure diagnosis.
