School Begins Again...4th Time!!!

We kicked off our 4th year of homeschooling by celebrating at KRISPY KREMES!!! For their special gift, each of the girls received their own special cookbook. Isaiah got a few squeaky books that he loves!

I always enjoy these special treats and special times. We are all really looking forward to this year. We have a lot of activities on the books...lots of things to get done this year! How exciting!!!

Braum's Tour

Today we toured the Braum's plant with the Piedmont and HOM homeschooling group. As always, we enjoyed riding on the cow bus, watching the different dairy products being made, and sampling some of the good stuff for ourselves!!! We plan on doing this tour again when they add the bakery plant to the tour in the spring.

Surprise!!!

With the help of my parents and the blessing of my husband, the kids and I were able to secretly arrive at the Grand Opening/Open House event for Alex's (my sister's husband) new office on Tuesday, September 7, 2010. While I do want to support their efforts in starting their own business, truth be told, it was the refreshments and door prizes that convinced me to make the long trip!



We ended up staying for 6 days. It was really refreshing to take ANOTHER vacation! The kids enjoyed spending EXTRA time with their cousins! Now that we are back home, it's time to finish up a few project and begin preparing for school. I am not exactly sure when we will be starting, but I do know that it's around the corner!
