Wow, so lately we've been swamped with household stuff getting done.  First of alll, we had our floors done and they look GREAT!  They were a white speckled sort of linoleum and now they are a wonderful sage porcealin tile.  Some friends of ours from church worked on it with us and it was great to get to learn how to do it.  The greatest blessing of all, though, was getting to know the other family as they became really good friends in the process.  God works in truly mysterious ways!!  We then had our deck extended and that took a couple days.  There are pictures on our webshots page if you are interested.  http://community.webshots.com/user/thedouds  Then this week we're getting new countertops!  I tell ya, we love that tax return!

In all of this, we are somehow miraculously staying on top of school and that's going well.  Kiernan is just about to finish level 2 of her hooked on phonics and we're in week 6 of sonlight K.  Despite all of my fretting about which curriculum to use once we were done with Weaver interlock, going with sonlight was definately the best thing.  We have really enjoyed the read-a-louds and look forward to each new one we start.  Our biggest problem is dealing with the interruptions that come with daily life.

Well, more to be said, but limited time to say it in....we all know the routine.....  Until next time, blessings to all!  Have a great day!!
