Well our house has been busy over the summer.  So I thought I'd post a few pictures so you can see what has been going on.

First, my 21 year old daughter got married. 

Here she is in the bride's room.

and outside the reception center:

and inside the chapel area:

and with her new husband:

and with her brothers...such a handsome bunch:

and with the flower girls:

We had another event take place this year that is taking quite some adjusting to get used to.  My 19yos decided to serve the Lord for 2 years, preaching the gospel and then he wants to return home and attend med school.  This is his picture at the wedding.

It's been 2 months now and I miss him so badly.  We write a lot but it's not the same.  He is enjoying preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and it comes through in his letters.  But it is tough to let go.  I "lost" 2 children this year.  They grow up so fast...don't let one day be wasted ladies...you can never get them back.  I LOVE homeschooling!  What better way to be able to spend those precious moments with our children?  I lost my mom when I was 14...I treasure those moments and wish I had been able to have more with her.  Don't take these moments for granted.

Happy Learning!
