Posted by hugabunchmom
Ah, THAT's my problem, I haven't stayed on a schedule! :-D Wow, I don't even know where the summer has gone, with Jessi's book getting published, 2G16s mission trip, growing boys and juggling school work all summer just because, I can hardly believe it is August already! Looks like things are great at your house. The ants...wow, poor little guy. I love your lists, I needed some motivation to get going on mine again. Hugs!

yup, I have always loved new school books, new supplies, and anything else that you had to get for school! The kids get excited but I don't think as excited as I do. It is always the smells that bring back good memories. : )
Thanks for reading ; )
Sounds like your aphgans are doing well also. : )

I am not sure what Mama is planning for this year. It is going to be weird to not really do school this year since I graduated!
You have some really good plans this year.
Love,

Yes, Callie will be TWO soon, and it is hard to believe. Although, she has been two in spirit for quite some time!! ;-)
Thank you for letting me know you stopped by and for praying for my family.
May the Lord bless you and yours,
