My husband saw this blog the other day. He checks it all the time, especially if he is out of town for work. As much as he gives me a hard time for the time I've spent on it in the past, he actually shamed me for being 'so behind'. So here goes an update on our crew...
We finished school close to the end of May. I don't think I've ever been so happy to be 'done' for the year. I will post our year in review at the end of this entry. It was a good year, but momma's worn out. So next year, M will be in 3rd, Bonnetgirl will be in first, and J will be whatever he wants to be as his four year old self.
We haven't traveled much as a family. Texas was our last family trip, and other than that, I think we'll slip down to Seagrove for an extended weekend some time in the near future. Deerhunter and I are supposed to be scheduling a cruise and looking ahead to OUR trip to Vietnam in September or October..anybody want 3 homeschooled kids for about 10 days? After that, we may be planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, but don't tell the munchkins.
Deerhunter, however, has traveled quite a bit. He has spent quite a bit of time checking out the Lakeland Healing Revival in Florida. I don't want to go into detail too much about our thoughts, and I don't want to cause a stir among us homeschoolblogger moms, but I will tell you it is nice to get excited about the Lord and consider His ability to do ANYTHING, and use the most unlikely types to do so, especially since Deerhunter and I are some of society's unlikely types.
We have hosted some folks from Texas, and are waiting for more old friends to make the trek.
And, for the most part what my summer looks like is- dump kids off at various sports and church camps/VBS with sack lunches in tow, clean house and run errands, pick up said kids, dump them and myself in the pool, and wait for any number of buddies to come take a dip with us....which reminds me...pool is open at 10 am this Friday to come play....
So, until I pick up my camera again OR deerhunter invests in a cordless/wireless/waterproof laptop..I'll be seeing you when the pool is closed...I wonder how long that will be?
Once a classroom teacher, now a mom of three...God has laid on our hearts to teach at home. It is a neverending journey, with twists and turns, ups and downs. We aspire to call forth the gifts and talents in each of our children, giving them a unique educational experience that brings out the best in each of them and nurtures them in their walk with God.
