It's been a long time...

Sorry about that. Been crazy around here. DH is home from his 15 month deployment and we are now trying to sell our house as we move in a couple of weeks to our new duty station. We are not having much luck in selling our home. The market here seems to be pretty dead. Hopefully it will pick up soon, really, really soon!

The kids started back to school 2 weeks ago. It's going pretty good so far. I think they may even be enjoying it. DD is still using Connect the Thoughts. Well, for History and Science anyway. DS is using Lifepacs for World History and Principles, Theories and Precepts of Biology, and Life of Fred Advanced Algebra (which is AWESOME btw). I have a good grammar book for each of them and then writing books as well. I don't have them in front of me to tell you the titles but maybe I'll update with them later. We also have other courses on the side that are Mom lead. DS will start French (again) once we get settled.

We spent the summer enjoying having DH home again. We bought a camper to live in while we are moving. We were hoping we would already be living it by now but... We didn't go on a summer vacation but we are going to vacation on our way to our new place. We are going to stop in St. Louis, MO for about a week, I think. DH is planning it and he is getting excited.

It will be so hard to leave here. We have really grown to love it here. We have good friends, and the kids have their activities here that they love and... We will find good things and friends there too.

Well, I think you are pretty well updated for now. I'll try to post what we are doing as we travel but I make no promises. :o)
