I can't believe it's been six weeks since I've updated this! We started school about four weeks ago, but took a weeklong break in the middle due to family visiting. School has been going really well for Adisson. He grumbles everyday before we get started, but he usually comes around pretty quickly, especially if we're working on something particularly interesting. We've rowed A Storm in the Night, Night of the Moonjellies, and A Pair of Red Clogs. Next week we'll be working on Grandfather's Journey. I think we'll work on the art projects tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, though. This week is going to be VERY busy and I don't want things to get pushed to the side when it comes to school. This is a very art enriched book and I want to capitalize on that while I can. It will also be the last book we're going to work on for about a month or so and I want it to go well.

Zander is having dental surgery this week. I'm not surprised as Adisson needed the same work done, it just doesn't make it any easier. So we have a pre-op appt. and then his surgery this week. I've also scheduled a photo session with a great photographer so I can get some good shots of the kids before we move (and I have to find a new photographer!). And Adam's got some more clearing to do on post.

Our house will be packed up on September 8 and then all the stuff will be picked up on September 9. It seems so far away and so very close at the same time. I can't believe it's happening! I can't believe we're moving! I'm apprehensive about selling the house, due to the market, of course, but that shouldn't affect us as much since this is such a large military community. We'll be paying our mortgage here and then rent in Maryland....rent that is literally three times our mortgage. :) That's crazy! I just would love the house to sell quickly, but I'm planning on it taking awhile.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now. We found out earlier this month that we are expecting our third little boy! Of course I was thinking pink, but I'm THRILLED at the fun of three boys! I can't wait to see my precious son. He's going to have such a great time with his big brothers. :)

It's all going so fast! I hope to update more, and with lots of pics, when we get to Maryland. I'm so thrilled that God has given us this opportunity. I can't wait to see some more of this great country and I'm long overdue for a change of pace!
