At Home in Georgia

Memorial Day Weekend!

We're all ready for a break from the "usual".  I'm tired of working one of our two family days every week.  This weekend, I only have to work one of Carter's three days off.  What WILL we do with all of our time?! 

Today marks the end of another school year for Carter.  Next year he will have 5 9th grade Bible classes (meaning one prep and LOTS of the same tests to grade) and his Praise Band.  So he's very happy, because it had been looking like he'd have 4 9th grade and one 10th grade class. 

We at home, schooling, aren't quite done.  We have 17 more days, which translates into 2 more weeks while Carter finishes up year-end things at school, and then a day or two here and there during the summer when boredom sets in or it's too hot or (hopefully) too rainy to do anything else.

Emma has battled a two-round fight with poison ivy that's lasted more than a month.  She's finally looking better and feeling better.  Garrett had a "bike accident" a few weeks ago and is still bearing the marks from that.  Cassandra's survived the spring without any serious injury. 

The spring here has been wonderful.  Plenty of rain, so flowers, trees, and gardens are thriving.  Our garden is beautiful.  The weather has been fantastic.  Today has been the hottest day, topping out at 90 this afternoon, but now it's looking like it might rain.  Carter planted some grass in some bare spots in our yard (not to be confused with a LAWN), and amazingly enough, it came up.  So we are loving every day. 

And the house is going crazy, so my moment to blog is done. :)  Hope to update sooner next time!
