until school starts.  One minute I can't wait.  And then the next minute, I wish we had more time.  Not all of our books will be here when school starts and that has me nervous.  But then I feel a strange confindence that it is going to be okay.  I plan on using what we have (which is not much).  For the rest we plan on some trips to the library, using the Boy Scout handbook, and some nature study.  Sam wants to study sharks, so we might make our first notebook.  I know we can put off school until books arrive.  But it is time we take a deep breath and jump into this year.  Even though the kids don't act like it, I think they are ready too.  Or is that me wishfully thinking. LOL 

My birthday is tomorrow!!!!  I can't wait!!!

God Bless!!

Hope
