I have spent the last hour or so catching up with all that has been going on with our homeschooling friends in Canberra. We have had such fun looking at the photos from several events: Medieval Day and the Show and Tell Day. I am glad they were posted. Chloe and I sat here and picked out all the familiar faces. The ladies looked lovely in their costumes for the Medieval Day. Gorgeous. Several men dressed up for the day as well and looked great too. Chloe was especially excited to see her special friend with her dogs. It made her day.
Christmas is fast approaching, isn't it? Does time seem to be speeding up each year for anyone else besides me??  I got a big shock last week when I discovered that theThanksgiving celebration was coming up the following week (in just a few days now!) Hudson's 3rd birthday is tomorrow . I have been thinking about that, I suppose. It seems like just a few months ago that we were racing to John James Hospital to have him (and I got to meet a new friend,Jenny, there as well).
Chloe has begun debate and it is quite a time consumer. She does it through a Christian homeschool league - NCFCA. We are tickled that she wants to do it as it does involve a great deal of work (educational type like research/preparation/practice speaking/writing - among other things). Having a 14 year old is just as exhausting as having a toddler, I think. I feel that since I have both I am qualified to state this generalization! Besides, it does give me a good excuse for not having finished moving in yet. No pictures on the walls, no nifty furniture arrangement.....well, the little girls's room is pink now. That is a start.
The squeak, squeak of wheel is going. Lola and Mae are doing their usual thing. Still cheeky and prone to nip our fingers, these hamsters are sure cute...and it probably is a good thing they are so cute. Our dear pet box turtle, Mrs. Horatio has finally gone into hibernation . Well, probably for about a month by now. We miss her and the kids pray that she is "ok". Hey, can you hear the squeak, squeak, squeak of the hamster's wheel where you are sitting???
