Irwin Family Update

Lots of things have been keeping this family busy, as per normal. :0) School is coming to a closure for the school year and summer is fast approaching. We are all loving the sun, including our new large garden. Bob had started with a small one last year and this year he about tripled it. It really has been fun to watch.

Bobby is starting Driver's Ed next week and is really counting those days to drive without one of us. I am not as nervous anymore for he has turned out to be a very careful and cautious driver. We pray that this continues. Bobby also started playing the electric & acoustic guitar in worship last month and is loving it. About the same time he became a leader for the middle school youth group. Lots a positive character building is happening in his life.

Kyleann has really worked hard this year at school and has ended her last year in middle school with straight 'A's. We are so proud of her. She was inducted into the Junior Honor Society in March and just was recognize in a award ceremony on Monday for four of her classes, Math, Earth Science, History and English. She has decided that she is going to take a break from the Seattle's Children Choir with much prayer and thought. She says she is feeling that God is leading her in a different direction and she is ready to follow. It was a little difficult for mom and dad to take, but she is very positive and very in tune with her spiritual and emotional development and we trust God! :0) She reminded, "I still sing all over the house and for worship at church, so don't worry mom. I am working on my gift. " :0)

Taylor is doing very well at Emerson in Snohomish. He really has found a positive place in his class and seems to really enjoy it. He has slowly been migrating back into the General Ed class with hopes to be fully mainstreamed by the end of 6th grade. He has one more year of elementary and then he will be in Middle School. That will be a hard one to swallow. Time just seems to keep flying faster. Taylor really enjoys going to church and participating in Sunday school and Wednesday church. He is counting the days to go to camp this August. Last year was his first time going and he really grew a lot in that week. We are excited to see what God has in store for him this year. :0)
