I can't believe that it's been over 4 months since my last entry. It's been a busy summer for us. At the beginning of the summer we traveled to Phoenix, Az. That was a week long trip with other little explorations in between. On our way to Phoenix we stopped in Carlsbad, NM and went through the caverns. That was a lot of fun. A lot of walking too !!!

On our way home from Phoenix we went to the Grand Canyon. What an amazing site. I can't wait to go back one day. I would really like for all of us to go camping there.

In the middle of summer we took another trip. This time we went with our good friends to a state park in Oklahoma. We go every year and stay in a cabin on the river. We fish, canoe, swim, hike...... It's nice to just get away and relax.

The rest of our summer consisted of VBS, swimming, friends and fun. I had planned this year to continue with our schooling through the summer. Well, that didn't happen. I'm okay with that though. We had a great summer and we all learned a lot without officially calling it "school".

Now we are back in the swing of things. This is our 6th week of school and it's going great. We're doing most of our schooling outside since the weather is so wonderful right now. This really helps keep our little ones (C 3

and C 2) happy. They love to be outside. 

That's about it for now. I'll post later with all the many happenings around our busy home. Hope you're having a wonderful day.
