Yeah, well... I was thinking the same thing. Let's see my last blog entry was somewhere around February. Yikes! I'm no longer in CTG for those of you who have posted such kind words...sorry. I'll try to fill you in a little to catch up to where we are today... So I think I'm beginning to remember.... Yes, February  here in NY can get a bit shall we say, "DEPRESSING"  So my hubby sends me south to thaw out a little every year. His motto is "Happy Wife = Happy Life". I tend to agree. So in March we decided to take a road trip. We loaded up the car pointed it southbound and drove. We stopped in Atlanta for a little while and met up with a sweet old friend from childhood I hadn't seen since we were young teens. Then we proceeded to south florida where Hubby left the kids and I for a few weeks. We...rather I had full intentions of continuing our homeschool while in sunny south Florida but the beach and the wooing powers of the sundrenched poolside kept us busy with other delights. I got to spend Resurrection Sunday with Mom and my CC family which I haven't done in years and enjoyed days poolside with my brothers which was such a pleasure. Hubby came back down and we drove to Orlando for another week. We went to The Holy Land Experience and saw some wonderful tie-ins to the things we had been studying in CTG and then on to Disney's Animal Kingdom just for fun. We had a great time that week walking around Old Town, Disney Downtown, riding bicycles, eating mango popcicles and just being together. We were away for 7 weeks altogether but it went by all too quickly as time often does when having fun.

So anyway, back to NY and back to our studies we went a bit anxiously. As our friends were beginning to close in on their school year, we still had quite a ways to go. We managed to finish in record time although I feel now I wish we hadn't rushed. DD wanted to have a Greek Olympics at year end but it never came to pass. She says a Roman feast will have to do. 

Summer was somewhat non existant due to much rain and here we are September again. We seem to have gotten a slow start to things this year but again my goal is to just take one day at a time. I don't want to miss those things that are so very meaningful In My Father's World. I want to be able to take breaks and field trips and not feel the pressure of making every day fit the schedule. I want my children to enjoy their learning experience and make wonderful memories in the process.

We are on week 2 of RtR and it's all good.
