Back in the Saddle...

We are desperately trying to get back in the saddle with our school work.  I have to say, it has been a bit of a struggle.  For starters, we had an exceptionally busy holiday break.  During the month of December we pretty much laid off most of the real "official" school stuff.  The kids did some S.O.S., but mostly what we did for "school" was making gifts and cards.  (Shhhh!  Don't tell the kids that we were doing school while they were having all that fun!)

Then, my beautiful baby sister got married on New Year's Eve.  It was a very touching ceremony... but what made it even more exciting was that we "threw" it all together in only 2 weeks.  Sis and her fiance' had planned to get married in March, but with them living in two states, hundreds of miles apart, planning a wedding was proving quite difficult.  So they both came "home" for Christmas and all the little elves in the family helped put together their New Year's Eve wedding.  It was a lot of work, but it was one of those experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.  After all, those kinds of things are just what sisters are for!  :) 

-

Since then we've had a few illnesses in the family, and it's hard to do school when half of the students are out sick.  ("half", in our case, equals "one".  ha.)  Today I spent the better part of the afternoon in the doctor's office with my 11 year old who has a tummy bug.

So tomorrow, we will try again.  Soon, I will have something more interesting to post, I promise!  (I promise, DDT!  You know who you are!)

Wow! Sounds like

such a fun way to do a wedding. Makes me wonder what mine would have been like if we hadn't taken a year to plan...
Blessings!
