Last week of freedom...

Last week we enjoyed our time away as a family. We did have an addition, an extra 13 year old girl. Amanda's friend, Lauren went with us. Those two make us laugh. Lauren fits right in with us. She can joke, carry on, talk and hang right there with us!

We didn't do much except lay around on the beach or by the pool. At one point, there were dolphins swimming out in the gulf. Which was so cool. It was amazing watching the waves come up and wash back out to the gulf. There are still some places around there that haven't rebuilt from Hurricane Ike.

This contraption right here is a floating oil rig. Mike use to work in the oil field. It fed us for many years. Mike would be flown from Louisiana to a much bigger rig there in the gulf. He would be gone for two weeks then home for two. I'm grateful that those days are over.  Having Mike home now is very nice!

This is our last week of freedom. Next week Mason will be here and we'll begin school. I've been trying to organize, clean, wash and catch up on some things around here before we get started. I'm excited about it. Getting back into the whole routine of things and such. Come Monday, I'll be taking pictures of our first day of school and try to post them. I'm debating on whether to let the kids create a blog in Writing and Grammar this year.

 

I'm just trying to figure out how to get "technology" into the curriculum and thought that would be an interesting way to do it. I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Anyway, I'll be posting about our first day sometime next week. Pray everything goes good!!
