Well, our year of "schooling" is over for the year, though our days of teaching are never over. My children are making a Fruit of the Spirit book, pictures, drawings and scripture writing....even artwork that will show the trait of the Holy Spirit that we are working on. We hope to play math games and do spelling and geography bees. I miss having a garden. That was such a perfect thing to do in the summer. Maybe some day soon when we settle again.
For now, we are still getting moved in. Yesterday, we had a family laundry marathon. So far all the clothes are all in the drawers and closets. Carpet was shampooed yesterday and today all the furniture gets moved around. My husband finishes his medical coding course and takes his test on Saturday. His parents come to stay with us on Saturday. I am sure that will be a nice visit. Right now I am trying to figure out what to make for meals. Low sugar, low fat, low everything.....salads I suppose and maybe chicken. So, our work is cut out for us for at least the next week. Then we have garage sale preparation. During all these busy days, and life is flying by so fast, I am trying to remember to look at God's beauty, smile and laugh often with my children, play and color pictures, and be thankful for each breath God gives me! God is so good and I am eternally grateful for all He has done for me.

I'm glad your school year is over. We've been done for 2 weeks I think and I'm ready to get back in there! My children don't quite feel the same way yet so I guess we'll wait a bit.
I don't think I ever responded to the comment you made on my blog when I posted that awful picture of myself...
I remembered reading weeks and weeks ago about all of the weight you lost and that was a huge inspiration to me. I have lost 12 pounds so far and I am really leaning on the Lord because it has really become a battle for me.
I always appreciate your encouraging words, here and on my blog.
Thanks!
Trish
