The summer has been so good and full of activity!
For the first time in a very long time (since Germany) we’ve been somewhere long enough to begin forging friendships within our community and I cannot tell you how much joy this has brought to my heart.
We have been enjoying playdates, outings, and birthday parties so much this summer that I have neglected my poor blog.
I’m okay with that because having friends is amazing. Seeing my children play with friends is such a blessing to this mama’s heart of mine.
But I also miss all of you and this place online that I call home!
I miss sharing pictures of our lives with our family and friends.
I miss connecting with my online friends as well.
So…as our summer break from school is coming to an end, I’m trying to find balance between all that life has for us right now.
Thank you for sticking around with me and I hope that you’ll continue bear with me as I attempt do that.
Since it has been a while, let’s catch up a bit…
We’ve actually had a few rain showers over the last couple of weeks. The kids and I even got wet walking from our car to the church on our last day of Vacation Bible School last week. It rained for most of the day and that’s the first day of rain that we’ve had since moving to El Paso in January.
The kids and I had Vacation Bible School at our church last week. I volunteered to teach one of the second grade classes. It was a joy to share God’s love with those little ones. It was a very different VBS schedule that what I’m used to…Tuesday – Thursday from 9-2:30 each day. Those were some long days!!! The kids had a blast and I love that Will and Jenny are still walking around singing about the “armor of God”.
I went on a weekend retreat all by myself last weekend to plan for our upcoming homeschool year. I spent the weekend resting, planning and getting excited about a new year! I came home with a schedule for the 2013-2014 school year, the first 6 weeks of lesson plans written out and a chore/cleaning system for the kids and I.
We’re taking two weeks off in September for a family vacation and I wanted six weeks of school completed before then. So, our first day of school will be next Monday, July 29.
With some plans in place, I’m spending this week doing two things…1) enjoying our last week of summer break with some fun activities for the kids and 2) organizing our homeschool room and new school supplies so that we’re all set for Monday.
Yesterday I got our bookshelves organized. I love looking at this space with all of our books lined up and in order! I hope it lasts longer than the first week of school!
As soon as I finished up in the school room yesterday afternoon, EA was in her desk playing school…I think the kids are getting excited to start back too! I can’t believe I’ll have two third graders and a first grader this year.
I’m trying to be intentional about enjoying this last week of summer break and giving the kids some more fun memories to cherish.
This morning we went to the movies on post and then we went to Menchie’s for lunch. Frozen Yogurt for lunch??? um…yes, please!!
