Where Have We Been?

We've had massive computer problems. We're actually still trying to sort everything out.:( Unfortunately, most of our pictures are in cyber-purgatory awaiting to be released from a bad system back-up. So as for posting pics of the State Fair, our vacation, and updates of Baby Jane; I'll just have to wait on that.:(

On a lighter, happier note, we are almost successfully done with our 3rd week of school. Tomorrow is field trip day so we'll be heading out to the Minneapolis Institute of Art to see a few galleries showcasing Impressionist paintings. Ooooo!

My next post is something I wanted to publish over the weekend. I forgot how much I love Top 10 lists until I got caught up with David Letterman while on vacation!!

Ciao for now! And it's good to be back!

Back to School

Well, we're up for another year of homeschooling. The kids were up and ready this morning early! Molly, our eager little Kindergartener, was up first. It was a good day, everyone was excited, and very cooperative.

We'll see how long the enthusiasm lasts, but for now, I'll take it!!

Update: I still have pics from the State Fair and our vacation up north to download and post. Thanks for the patience. With starting school again, I've been so busy organizing, making copies, and just plain getting ready. I hope to catch up soon!!

Actually, Daddy took a few pics tonight and on Saturday. He took the kids for an outing all day on Saturday so I could have my teacher inservice. HaHa!
