Long Over Due

I feel like I need to go to confession, "I haven't updated in almost two months!" And I haven't checked blogs in almost as long. I have avoided the blog world in order to get through the last few weeks.

In May we finished up preschool, I travelled to Amelia Island the first weekend with my sister and parents. The next weekend I took the little kids and mom up to Milidgeville to attend Sarah's graduation. Then I came home and was mixed up in the whirlwind of "Alice In Wonderland" the last play of the year. It turned out fabulously!! Then I went to the homeschool conference, and started planning our upcoming school year while still wrapping up the current one. In the midst of this I added Virtual School for Madeleine. There was quite a learning curve with the computer and getting used to the classroom format. Maddy is taking four virtual school classes this summer plus her math and history. So keeping the motivation going is a top priority. The kids all had a fever virus, a sore throat virus and then a stomach virus in the last two months. Ethan is having a rough patch. He is so busy and needs ALOT of supervision ;) He has cut his hair twice in the last month right in the front! He is also getting into all kinds of things around the house. It is a million degrees here so there has been very little outside play other than the pool. Last week I taught crafts at our VBS, Maddy & Liv attended Camp Allegro, and we had my sister-in-law and my nieces come for a visit! A crazy busy week! Oh, and I managed to house sit for a friend, paint my sister's room, and can about 8 quarts of tomatoes... Busy, busy I tell you!

Mike and I are going to get Lyns this week, so she will be home soon with that cute baby. We also had to give away our cat Miley last week. She was not working out having potty problems in inappropriate places. I am planning for a calmer July. The only obligation I have in July is a week of camp nursing towards the end o the month. I hope to get in some summer springs trips and another VBS or two. So there is your update, pics to follow.

Oh and did I mention Lola is coming to live with us?

Busy busy! Thanks for the update. I'm glad I've seen you in person and I don't have to depend solely on the blog for info!
