Sputters and Spurts!!!

WOW!!! I can't hardly believe that it's been 5 full months since I've blogged, I am definitely going in sputters and spurts...LOL! I will catch up with some photos from this spring and summer, hopefully next week sometime, that is if I can figure out how to put pictures on our new computer...Vista is really different than XP and I'm still feeling my way around.

We started our 10th year of home schooling this past week, a major milestone for all of us. Levi is 14 and beginning 9th grade this year and we've been diligently trying to make sure we have all or t's crossed and our i's dotted to make sure we fulfill the state requirements for graduation. I can't hardly believe that he's a freshman this year. Of course, I'm not sure why I'm surprised as he's already several inches taller than I am and has become quite the grown up young man...except for those moments when he's an angst filled, stubborn, opinionated, moody teenage boy! Jonah is 12 (13 in 1.5 months) and is beginning 7th grade. He's also quite proud of the fact that he stands eyeball to eyeball with me in height. My babies are growing up!! I suppose that's enough chatter to keep their parental embarrassment level high.

We're headed for our cabin in just a short bit for the last fun weekend of summer weather...that is if we have summer weather. This has been one of the colder summers we've had and has been very strange indeed. We'll have scorching hot temps for a couple days and then they'll plummet and we'll be digging out the sweatshirts and sweatpants trying to stay warm. We've all been wondering where that global warming is that everyone is talking about, but that's a whole different post for a whole different time.

Have a great labor day weekend everyone!
