Feb. 21, 2008 - Whew! Where has the time gone?
I haven't posted since Dec. 2005! ACK!!!
On Valentine's Day 2006 I surprised my dh with the news that blessing #6 was on the way! She was born in Oct. of that year. The pregnancy was definitely NOT my best. 
I was borderline for gestational diabetes and fought high blood pressure during the last half. I was kept busy all spring, and most of the summer, running the 3 older boys to and from baseball games and practices. Dh's work decided during that time to move to their new building. It ended up being 8 wks of 6 12-hr days a week! Egads! Although the move itself was a blessing, the timing was not. That meant I had to corral a dd (almost 2) and a ds (almost 1) all by myself at all of those games. And I wonder why I was having bp problems...hmmmmm? LOL!!
After baseball ended in July it was time for football in August. I mentioned in my last post that we play for a homeschool team. This means LOTS of traveling. The only thing that kept me going that fall was knowing how much my boys liked playing. I did miss the last couple of games because of having dd. It just got too cold to have a newborn out. The season ended in disappointment with another winless record.
Well that wraps up 2006, but what happened to 2007 you say? 6 kids (3 of them 3 and under) happened baby! LOL!! I spent most of last year just trying to keep my head above water. We opted out of basketball and baseball, but decided to go ahead with football. Unfortunately, due to poor management, the season had to end before our 1st game. There just wasn't enough money to get what was needed. Dh and I made the hard decision to pull out of the club and will be heading up our own this coming fall. We figure we can't do any worse, and hopefully will do a lot better. We have some awesome families joining us.
We joined a co-op last fall after several years off. It's a different one from where we belonged before. We miss all our old friends, but I feel this one is a better fit, school-wise. We just started back up about 3 weeks ago for the spring semester.
I think I've pretty much summed up the last 2 years. I want to talk more about our curriculum and school schedules and such, but that will have to wait until next time.
Bless you!
