Vitamins

Yes or No?  After talking with the kiddos pediatrician last year, he said vitamins are not needed as long my kiddos eat a healthy well-balance diet.  Although I do believe they eat healthy (my kiddos love vegetables & fruit)-with some sweets thrown in :) does it hurt for them to take them anyway?  We usually don't get sick very often in our house, I also chuck that up to me breastfeeding all of my kiddos for some period of time!  Earlier this year when I broke my toe and it there wasn't much healing after 8 weeks (proven by x-rays & orthopedic doctor), I started taking Bone Builder with Boron and Calcium supplements-suggested from a nutritionist friend...these are all organic vitamins by the way.  I also ordered children's multi-vtamins as well as woman's daily vitamins, good quality pricey vitamins.  They of course got put in the cabinet to avoid clutter on my kitchen counter and forgotten about, but I was reminded of my vitamin purchases this morning when I woke up with a sore & scratchy throat!  They suggest prenatal vitamins when you are pregnant...So what's your take on vitamins?  Do you personally take them?  What about your kiddos and spouses?  

Fall Retreat 2010

This past weekend we took our students to Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters for a Fall Retreat.  Jody had made a wager that if we got 50 students signed up to go he would shave his gotee!  Although I was rooting for the students to get 50, I did NOT want him to shave off his gotee!!!  Lucky for me (& Jody) we got 45 students!  Last week schools were out for a fall break, and it just so happens that there were a few schools that had decided to have "non-mandatory" but necessary practices which prevented some of our regular students from going!  We had a great weekend and the students LOVED Snowbird and can't wait to go back in the summer!!!  Thanks to my parents for coming to Georgia to watch our kiddos for the weekend (Friday-Sunday) so I could go without kids!!!

This was our group shot, complete with leaders!  If you want to see more pictures of the weekend, click here A, B or C...there were about 500 pics and I edited them down to 423!  A few of our students took our camera and captured the weekend from their perspective, always interesting!!!
