Long Time No See

    OK WOW!  I know I have been away for a VERY VERY LONG TIME!  I can't believe it!  I think it's almost been a whole year!  The truth is I forgot my password  to my Google account.  I know, I know .... LAME!  But it's true!  More Bad News is, I didn't make 365 Pinterest projects, but I'm sure I came close so I have some photos I need to catch up on to show everyone. 
    Some new things in my life are, well, several!  I suppose the biggest is that we are homeschooling this year.  I know I may seem crazy and out of the norm but after much prayer and support from friends and family I have decided to try it this year and see how it goes. So far so good!  We are participating in Classical Conversations basically we meet in a classroom environment once a week and a tutor teaches the class the curriculum we will cover during the week.  The children have a blast and the parents get to sit in the back and observe cool fun ways to teach their kids at home.  So far we are having fun and both Jesse and I are learning a lot.  Cecily is laid back just watching and observing it all in. 
     Jesse has started Upward soccer.  His first game is this Saturday.  Which should be interesting to see a bunch a 4yr olds running around on the field.  So excited!

Here of some highlights of my year so far!
