Magical Morning

Happy 18th Birthday, Lavender Girl!

1st Day of School

The day arrived and I must admit that I wasn't feeling nearly as enthusiastic about beginning school as I was last week at this time. I was quite reluctant to give up what remains of the the lazy days of summer. But I'd promised we would start today, so start we must or I'd have some very disappointed little girls on hand.

All in all it was a good start. The day flowed smoothly, we enjoyed the routine, and we finished everything on time! We enjoyed having new books to savor and new thoughts to ponder. The new school year is looking very promising.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

One Week To Go

The new school year is very quickly approaching.

Are we ready???? Maybe not physically...I haven't bought new paper or pencils, or organized my teacher manuals, or copied schedules for the kiddos....but mentally YES. We are ready for that blessed routine to infiltrate our existence once again. We are ready to wake each morning and know what's before us. Bible time, history, math, and new language arts and science to explore.

I'm excited to have a fresh start. The past two years were disjointed with moves and house building. Now we are home at last. Feeling settled and comfortable even if not completely unpacked.

School sounds just right.

Introducing Chesterton

Country life just wasn't quite complete without a puppy
and besides who could resist this lovable guy?
He is certainly not lacking for attention in this home and maybe
his need for exercise will motivate me in the need for mine!

Thanks for visiting, Dear Friends!
