Change in the making

Life in the Schenk house is carrying on as normal.  School is going well.  The kids have a new schedule and Peanut actually does learning time with Little Man on his three days at home.  They love doing it together and it is not nearly as challenging as I thought it would be. Then on Thursdays and Fridays Peanut goes to preschool and Little Man goes to his Learning Center as part of the hybrid school system.

Haley continues to do well in school and dance. Competition season is coming for her dancing and she has been preparing hard for it.  Her first competition is March 9th. 
She is currently still doing Hoosier Academies (the hybrid school she has done for the last three years), like Little Man, but since she is entering high school next year (did I just say that?) we are exploring other options and praying for the best fit for her. Private school is out of the question due to cost and we really don't want to send her to public. So the options seem to be to keep her where she is or move her to a charter school called Herron High School.  It is a classical liberal arts, college preparatory, tuition free school. She would go 5 days a week like a public school, but the focus on academics is much better, plus students can actually earn college credits while completing high school. The ONLY downside is that they don't offer busing so we would have to figure out transportation. However, we recently learned of a family in our church who send their daughters to Herron and talked with them about the possibility of car pooling.  Please pray for guidance in this situation.  The website for the school is www.herronhighschool.org if you want to take a look. We welcome opinions and advice from others.

Steve is still working as a float with Indianapolis EMS. It is daunting and we are praying he gets on a permanent truck. however, we are thankful he has a good job that he loves and he is able to provide for the family.

Jennae is continuing to teach the kids at home three days a week, and do hair at home three days a week.  She also leads a women's group where they do different studies to learn how to more biblical women, wives, and mothers. Right now they are doing a study of the Proverbs 31 Woman. She is learning a lot and trying to incorporate good changes into her life.  The family dynamic and routine is changing as a result.  Jennae is being more responsible with daily tasks, The kids are being more responsible at home, and we are enjoying life together and looking for ways to serve others.

God is continuing to show His provision and protection over us and that we can trust Him 100% with EVERYTHING.
