Back to the Grind

Well it has been awhile since I have updated. We made it through our month long vacation. The kids had such a great time visiting with the families and seeing their new baby cousin Peyton! We missed seeing our other new cousin Norah as she was born 2 weeks after we left! Now that we are home it is time to get back to business. The kids new activities have already started. Zack and Avery have soccer. All the kids have Irish step dancing, Awanas, and gymnastics. Zack has boy scouts and I am getting ready to start a girl scout troop for the girls. We also have our homeschool group activities, field trips and the library. It will be another busy year! We will be starting school next Tuesday since I refuse to start school in August. I think the kids will be excited to have something to do. We have a lot of things to cover this year. We will be doing a lot on the human body, civil war, geography, animal studies, the election and many others. Along with our election study this fall the kids will be going with me to vote in the presidential election. I just registered to vote and I have never voted before. I am excited to teach about the government and elections. Well it will be quite a year and we are ready to get started!
