Where Did The Summer Go?

Well, I actually know where it went, I just didn't update the blog about it.  Well, I have started a blog that will chronicle my events as a "Homeschool Mom" so hopefully I will be better about updating things.  Life is pretty good right now and a bit exciting as the school year starts tomorrow.  Yes, I am homeschooling Alex this year.  This decision came after much prayer and fasting.  We pray this year will be a wonderful experience for Alex and for our entire family.  This is definitely a new adventure and I mostly hope we will come through it with the same amount of people as we started it with.  James is also starting college ina few weeks.  We are really excited about such a wonderful opportunity for him.  This really is an answer to prayers.  Eric will start back to school next week, but his meet-the-teacher is this week and he is really excited, but I might be more excited as I get to see my wonderful friends again after a very long summer.  Josephine is growing like a weed and definitely is full of personality.  She is four months old and she is a ball of joy!  Life is pretty good for us right now and even though we face daily issues and trials that bog us down, we try to go to bed on a happy note, and most of the time we do.  We are blessed beyond measure and I know that this school year will bring us LOTS of new adventures.  I will post Alex's back-to-school picture tomorrow.  So, until then...
