Ok, it has been shamefully long since I last posted. No doubt, I have lost my viewing audience. Too bad, you'll have to waste time some other way now!
Let's see, I ended with a book review last time and have since blown through "The Devil Wears Prada". Other than reading is better for your mind that television, it was "fluff". It is amazing how I can take months to go through an uplifting worthwhile book, but then can put my life on hold to read something completly entertaining.... It's not a bad book, but, in my opinion, the movie was better.
Fall seems to have found us, and I have been working through getting out the fall clothes for 2 weeks now -- mind you, we don't have that many clothes, it just seems to take me that long to do any project these days. Which brings me to home school. That is going good, R is really coming along on some things, but she would much rather know everything rather than go through the process of learning it! Tom and I both know she came by that honestly, but that doesn't make it any easier to keep my patience on some days! We only know 1 other home school family in town and their daughter is our babysitter. It is difficult to feel alone in doing this, so I will still be calling my distant homeschool buddies to get some advice!
We are working hard to adjust to small town life, the entire town revolves around the local school and football is definitely king out here! We are friends with about half of the coaching staff (there are 15 coaches working in the football program right now), so we are learing about the ups and downs of coaching!
A picture is worth a thousand words so I will close with our "friend" who wandered into our backyard today. It was fun watching him try to sneak off on the girls when they forgot to watch him!!!
