Wow!  Summer is almost over!

We have  been so busy and I have sadly neglected this blog. Our summer flew by with gardening, vacationing, family reunions and picnics, travel, and camping.  Right now the blackberries are ready  :)

We just had our first corn on the cob from the garden and have been enjoying zucchini, beets (yes, I love them! with butter and salt they are delicious), green beans, our own lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers.

The first week of June we travelled down to Virginia and saw Jamestown and Williamsburg. Also we toured through Gettysburg Battlefield and museum. It was very impressive and the kids read lots of history books to get a feel for what they were seeing.

I will be adding more to this blog in future days. I had re-designed it and lost a lot of my sidebars in the process! Hopefully I will be able to get most of them back.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer! It's time to get ready now for school planning. Annie keeps asking me, "when are our books coming?" She is very excited to begin. Kevin will be doing preschool things so this will be new for him too. Annie and the younger boys have been reading Hank the Cowdog books all summer (there are over forty in the series!)

If you haven't read "Hank the Cowdog" you are definitely missing out!

Enjoy your day, Theresa
