The past few days have been so relaxing…even though we’ve had out-of-town company. Steve & I went swing dancing with our oldest daughter on Monday night. It’s been a long time since we’ve been dancing. We had a BLAST…Ashley did, too!
Last night, we enjoyed beautiful weather and a cool breeze at our downtown street party.
I even “tried” going through one of those obstacle courses, like a bouncy castle. It was pretty hilarious because I couldn’t get over the 2nd obstacle - a 4 foot wall. My 5 year old opponent beat me - LOL!
When I told her I just couldn’t get over the wall she replied, “Mrs. Beck, you just use your arms to go up the rope and put your feet on those little pegs.” To which, I told her, “Those little pegs just don’t have enough air in them to hold me up.” Thank goodness there are no pics of me stuck at the “short” wall, as my mom-friends laughed hilariously on the sidewalk!
On to “serious” business..right???
Recently, I posted an article that was on my heart. Do you ever wonder what your children will grow up to become? Will they lead those around them? Will they follow someone else? I shared my thoughts and some helpful suggestions to encourage your children to become what God wants them to be and implement in any approach to homeschooling.

I hope you have a wonderful week…and stay away from “blow-up” obstacle courses if you are racing 5 year olds 
Blessings,
Kerry
