Earlier this past week, I typed up a LONG post for my blog - sharing about the weekend at the CHAP convention and all the things I bought there for our next school year.  Brian sat down at the computer for a second and poof!  it was gone!  I've not had time all week to go back and revisit that post.  One of these days, though, I will do a "homeschool update" post and share about the things we've selected to use next year. 

Ashley spent this past weekend at a youth retreat - she just got home about an hour ago.  She had a great time; but, of course, she's tired.  So, we're going to spend the rest of our Sunday relaxing and enjoying each others' company.

Since Gracie's "fit" episode the other week (the one that knocked out her tooth), she's lost another one!  This one did NOT have a full-grown tooth behind it (that's a first) - so we got a glimpse at what she looks like "somewhat toothless".  I believe I do have a picture, so I'll be sure to post it sometime soon.

We  visited a local church this morning - great sermon, but I'm not sure it could really be "home" for us. 

We've got another busy week coming up, and I've got some exciting things for TOS that are keeping me busy.  We hope to have our final Homeschool Crew selected by the end of this week, we're getting ready to kick off our 2nd Annual Summer Reading Splash (watch the blog and your e-mail for details - we'll be kicking things off with a coloring contest, and we'll be doing weekly scavenger hunts to try for some great books!), and we've got a new line of unit study e-books in the works (that my team will be project managing). 

Oh, and speaking of TOS ... you have a few weeks left to buy the NEW 2009-10 Schoolhouse Planner at the presale price of ONLY $28 (snatch it up now before the price goes up to the regular $39 on June 1st!)  This planner is BIGGER & BETTER than last year - you'll love it!
