Been off my blog for a while

Posted in General

Oh my gosh, I didn't realize it had been over a month since I last posted.  Let's see if I can capsulize it:

 

1.  Turned 40 (good grief)

2.  Germany had the hottest July on record (I think it was over 90 degrees every day!  And with no A/C or window screens, it was either roast or roast with bugs.  Ugh!)

3.  Bean went to her Irish Dance camp and had a blast.  She is now officially one dance closer to her heavies than I am.  She's super excited.  She's only lacking the Single Jig and the Primary (Hard) Reel and I'll be shelling out 85 Euros for heavy shoes.  Oh boy.

4.  Bean went to her swim camp in Austria.  She had a great time, didn't really care for the "hiking the Alps" part too much and they didn't fix her breast stroke.  I'm not sure if that 516 Euros was worth it or not.

5.  While Bean was in Austria, Hubby and I spent 8 days ALONE in a rustic cabin.  We went hiking in the Alps almost every day.  Okay, yeah, the 516 Euros was worth it!

6.  Bean turned ELEVEN!! (double good grief)

 

We have decided to hold off on the main part of school until after my parents visit.  So, we'll be starting on 9/11.  But, we will dip our toe into the pond over the next couple of weeks getting the hang of the EHE for our Sonlight Core.  Then, starting on 9/11, we'll jump in whole hog with the rest of our SL Core, MUS Zeta, Christian Kids Explore Earth & Space, our homemade English from the Roots Up "curriculum", our Against the Tide bible study and La Franηais Facile.  Hoping for a really great year!

Just had to drop a quick line when I saw that your daughter does Irish dance! My 8 year old son does as well, and has for almost a year and a half now. Don't you just love it? I hope she's in her hard (heavy) shoes soon... my son loves them!! :)

Feel free to visit my blog... but I've been terribly remiss about keeping it updated... I'm working on it, though!

Have a wonderful weekend!
