Were offically starting school today! Praying for a wonderful start to an exciting school year. I'm very excited to be started the Charlotte Mason method of schooling the kids, so we are all very excited to be getting started. I will have pictures and updates after our day ends and hopefully it'll give me a chance to get back on here and do some house cleaning. It's been way too long again....

Updates however...our dear friends had their first baby on Friday. Gracie Mae came into the world at 1:00 in the afternoon happy and healthy and mama is too. So we are so super excited for them and hope to see them soon. They live in Colorado and we dont get to see them as much as we'd like but pictures are priceless!

Where oh where has the time gone????

Are you kidding me that it's seriously August and I havent been on here since the end of June. Life is busy yes, but seriously, over a month!!! I"m a horrible blogger...lol!

Well lets see its been summer, so days have been blur and turned into weeks. But that's the fun of summer I guess. We've been just really hanging out and not doing anything too exciting, aside from painting! Yes, in my world thats very exciting. Our house when we bought it was painted brown....everywhere....it started feeling like a dungeon. So we decided it was time for a change and went with a very light cream color! What a difference, it feels like a different house! That's been taking up most of my time lately.

The kids and I are taking a break from school and just enjoying the lazy days of summer. I just ordered most of their books for this year, so we'll probably get started the end of the month or early September. I am getting excited to start, and we have such a great group this year with so many activities planned.

My sister is pregnant and having another girl due in January. My sweet neice Kate just turned 1 a couple weeks ago, our dear friends in Colorado are expecting their first little girl anytime so its an exciting time right now.

The kids are doing great, happy and healthy and that's all you can ask for right! Joseph is 10 months old now and crawling all over the place, pulling up on everything he can. He plays peek-a-boo now and says mama and dada and waves bye bye. He's growing up way to fast for me I'll tell ya!

Well we just got home from church and I"m getting tired so I'll sign off for now, and defineately try to make more of an effort to update more often!

Blessings,

Heather
