December, DECEMBER! That was the last time I sat down and blogged. Where does the time go? I suspect to the same place the odd socks flee and the sanity vacations during phonics lessons.

We have had a busy few months here in homeschool land.

In January we add a little one to our home through the foster system. She is a joy and delight and we have now had her in our home for over half her life. We don't know if she will be here permanently and are praying for her biological parents and extended family. It has been a deep learnig time in trust and peace. God is good and we trust Him for her outcome.

February was spent adjusting to life with a baby and taking her to mutiple doctors visits, some over an hour away. Praise God all testing came back negative and in the process I learnt a lot about the head and brain development!

March was spent gettingthe garden ready and saying good bye to our good old Bulldog Henry. He had been with us for 11 years but was sick and in pain. Another hard life lesson in saying goodbye. A few weeks later we said hello to our energetic lab Jack. A puppy he is full of fun and as cute as a button! We also said good bye to Kristy as she headed off to her next adventure in W.VA

April saw my husband interviewing for a job workig in the White House fo rhte President. It was a bit intense as he got the the final two. Anotehr great experience but he will not be working there as another capab;e candidate was chosen. It would have been a wonderful opportunity for him but this way he will be home more :0)

May saw two birthday's and a visit from my parents from England. We took our "Spring break" while they were here and visited many tourist areas in the locale. It was nice to get out and explore and the children ate up the attention!

And here we are in June, another birthday month and more visits from family and friends planned. The sixth month and I'm back to bloggin. We will hopefully see another blog here before January.

So that is our update, testing is upon us and then Summer!!! Laxy days spent weeding and tending the garden. (Compared with teaching reading for the fourth time battling bugs and weeds seems like a breeze :0) ) I forgot to mention my knee surgery whch I am recovering slowly but surely from, it makes getting down a bit hard so it is a truly family affair getting the garden weeded.

Now i am off to catch up my blog friends :0)
