School Started!







Yep. That's right. We started school this week!! I know it's early but we are planning on taking a long Fall Break in October to go to Indiana for a counseling conference,to purchase a newer vehicle and most importantly, to visit family and friends. The laws down here keep changing and in September we won't be able to drive our van from 5:00-11:00 am during the week. We already can't drive on Thursdays and one Saturday a month we have to park the van. Basically we will have half a vehicle. We need to get a van that is about '05 or '06. Then we will be able to volunteer to be in the emissions program and we will qualify to drive everyday of the week!!! This will last until our vehicle is eight years old. Our van is '00 and therefore the limitations. Supposedly, these new regulations will cut down on the contamination in the air. We think it is to get folks to buy newer cars and the car dealers are padding their pockets.

Anyway, back to school. We are homeschooling the girls this year. We all have a new appreciation for this method. I'm doing more actual teaching with Natalie which makes her day more enjoyable. I'm back to learning all about Geography, Biology and my addition facts!! I didn't learn these things very well the first time around so hopefully by the third time I will get it!!

We also started piano lessons again!! Both girls are hitting the keys pretty hard!!! They will be hitting the court next week as basketball starts up again!!!! Yippee!!! We are looking forward to seeing all our friends from basketball again!!
