I was feeling bloggy this afternoon so I though I'd throw down a new post.
Quick update. We homeschooled for a semester before we determined that it was in our kids' best interest to go to public school at least through the '12-'13 school year. We'll reevaluate at the end of this current school year to see what to do next.
The kids are doing wonderfully. Cade is 9 now and ever the rule follower. Jack is 7 and is as laid back as they come. Claire is 5 and she is a vibrant pistol.

So here it is.... Christmas time. I've done 90% of my shopping online, and it's been GREAT. No lines, no parking hassles, no wondering if a particular store is going to have exactly what I'm looking for. AND, the presents come with boxes with which I can wrap the present. It's so perfect!
As I type this, I am sitting on my front porch, watching the kids play. It's a balmy 71 degrees on this last day of November. Not quite feeling like Christmastime yet. But eh, that's life in Texas.
