We're all doing well.  Baseball season has started (one of the things my boys missed about the US) and I have 3 in.  You may know that that means that we're either homeschooling, at church or at the baseball field.  Not much down time.  My youngest 3 are also enjoying Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts.  They want to go all the way to Eagle Scout and one wants to enter the military after graduation so Eagle is supposed to move him up a rank at the entry level.  He has high hopes of going into one of the academies.  If anyone has any pointers on homeschoolers  entering a military academy that would be great.  I know that sports is important and scouts helps and academics.  He still has a few years to go so we still have time.

Been homesick for Scotland here recently.  I love the fresh, clean, crisp smell and feel in the air.  I felt so much more healthy living there.  It's a great place.  Much different than the US.  We truly are divided by a common language.  Our words and the UK words for the same thing are very different...Cookies to us are biscuits to them.  We still catch ourselves calling french fries chips or calling an industrial sized garbage bin...the tip.  Some words I've even forgotten how we say it in the US.  I have to ask people what we call it here.   It's fun.  God bless Scotland.

Hope all are enjoying their school year.  Seems like spring break has given me a good rest in order to press on.  We have a friend from France coming to visit us in April.  We're looking very forward to that.  He was one of the children's best friends there and his family moved to France from Scotland and had a hard time being away from friends who spoke his language.  He's very fluent in French now, though. 

Blessings to all as we venture forward with renewed vigor and vision.
