Dec. 31, 2008 - Oh, My! How Long Has it Been?
We've been keeping busy. Emma finished her 8th grade work before Christmas (Except for Saxon Algebra 1/2) so she's going into 9th when we start back in Janurary...you know...except for math...lol.
I'm working on a *few* fresh New Year's Resolutions...Bible studies, Bible readings, getting through that dadburn pile of magazines beside the couch... ; )
We're also going to try a new way of attacking the house-cleaning. Since we have four main areas in the house we use lots, we're going to pick one area each week and DEEP-CLEAN it. The whole family. Together. Cleaning the bathroom. Is that going to work? Maybe we should just clean the *larger* areas together. Maybe.
In other news, Anna started basketball a couple weeks ago. It's a church-sponsored team, with kids from 4-11. The small ones are SO cute! They just run along after the others never knowing why...they just run. ; ) Last night they had their first game, and Anna's team won! (They're the Wildcats. Makes me want to sing that part from HSM.)
