Two more weeks of summer vacation before we start our school year.   As with the rest of our summer, it is filled with swimming lessons and Trey's tennis camp.  (Next week he has soccer camp).  Hallie is starting piano lessons tomorrow and is very excited about it.  I am too.  Maybe I can learn a little?  All I know is 'Mary had a Little Lamb'.  Soon after school starts, soccer season will begin.  For some reason I was crazy enough to sign up all three kids.  I'm praying that the practice and game schedule isn't too hectic.

Tomorrow we go on another tour, this time to Yokohama to see the big fireworks display.  The one on base lasted a half an hour and I've heard that there's is so much better, the kids and I can't wait.  I'll be posting pictures of the Bon Odori this week so keep an eye out for them.

My wonderful friend, Bridgette, gave me a wonderful devotional for homeschooling moms.  I can't wait to start it.  Its on my list to start tomorrow.  I am blessed to have such a wonderful friend.  She is my strength and rock.  I thank the Lord everyday for blessing me with her friendship!
