It has been a long while since I've shared.  I've been on to see how some of you ladies are doing but just haven't taken the time to blog!  I've been having some problems again posting pictures so that has contributed to me not blogging much as I want to share pictures and just see a box with no pictures, any ideas what i'm doing wrong, let me know!  suddenly it doesn't work anymore...

We are enjoying our summer.  We've been to the library just about every week, I am happy to say my oldest, Viviana, is reading about 1 book a day, decent sized books!  I pray she will love to read, It really seems like it!  She is into the Nancy Drew Mysteries and American Girl Books.  My other two girls have enjoyed us reading to them too.  We came home with about 15 books or so and am happy to say we read through everything!

We have decided to go with KONOS curricullum for the new school yr.  Totally feel The Lord leading us to it, we sure have to work on some Character issues!  Our books arrived yesterday and so far it looks like a curricullum that we will all enjoy to learn from.  We also ordered Math U See for the two older girls.  I will supplement with abeka for grammar and some math for Viviana.  I am also working wth Bella to get her reading at a faster pace, she is breezing through her sight words so that's awesome!

I will be getting together with another family that i met through a homeschooling website and we will do a co-op once a week so we are really excited about that.  I am so amazed how the Lord is blessing us with 2 new families that I met through the computer!

About 2 months ago I discovered I had a desire to work with fondant and decorate cakes!  I have been creating some cakes for fun, next week will be my first actual cake that will be for an event, a friends bridal shower then i will make a fondant cake for my nieces 2nd birthday, I'm going to do an elmo theme.  As I said, i've been having problems with posting pictures so I will try again to post as I'd like to share some of my creations with you and also pictures of the children.

Aaron just turned 8 months old.  He is such a smiley happy baby!  He is soooo loved here...his big sisters are always around him making him laugh and carrying him around( Will he ever learn to walk!)  He is eating some solids not too much mostly oatmeal for babies, he's still adjusting to the new tastes of fruits and veggies.  Nursing is still going strong!

God is so good, he had blessed my husband with a bonus so we were able to pay off another credit card and also use some for the curricullum.  And with the stimulus check we used some for another credit card.  So little by little we are moving towards our goal, to be debt free!  We once again have been blessed through church as my husband received a call from a friend saying they had diapers for use, they had months ago blessed us with diapers galore for both children!  pullups too!  let me tell you when we were on our last pack of diapers that's when he got that call that they had more diapers for us!  isn't God so Good!  this time we have a lot of pullups which is a blessing, let me tell you...Aaron is 8 months and we have never had to purchase diapers for him!  The blessings of our Awesome Lord....JULIET
