It's been brought to my attention that I haven't been blogging as much and that it's been a bit negative lately. So here's a little bit of what's been going on and it really is mostly good stuff... :)
I've been busy! Between 2 homeschool groups, 2 meetup/mommy groups, trying to help plan a wedding and my own family, I'm busy!
It's good. Things are good. I'm still getting to know my brother and I'm extremely excited about that, like finding a piece of the puzzle that makes you feel a little closer to complete.
We've been doing good with school, we are laid back about it and very easy going but we get a lot of work done. Oriana's learning to read and getting better every single day. Ophelia is a reading fanatic. She reads about an hour a day on average, but some days she will read for 3-4 hours all together.
We do a lot of field trips, or trips in general that we turn into a lesson. Actually, we turn pretty much everything into a lesson. I LOVE homeschooling my girls. I can't wait for next year when I've got a better idea of what I want to accomplish for the year and the things that I want us to learn together and do as a family. I am planning potential field trips and road trips for educational purposes for next school year.
Adrian and I are doing good as well. We went camping last weekend after the girls and I had a 5 day stay at my good friend Jenns (in Tennessee) The trip to Tn. definately rocked! It's a long drive but the time spent is worth it:). We definately felt a lot more like ourselves after going camping. We are refreshed as persons and as a couple.
This week is packed full of homeschool group meetups and mommy meetups... everything is just grand. Money could be better, bills keep rolling in left and right and it's getting overwhelming... but really, when couldn't money be better, always a battle! That's really my only complaint though, so that's good!
