just checking in

gorgeous bouquet Tyler gave me for our 31st anniversary 💗

It's surprisingly hard to write a blog post

when one hasn't written one in awhile.

I've started - and deleted - posts 

more then a couple of times

but two of my boys 

have requested a new post 

in the last few days,

so here we are.

It's been a rough couple of months,

not going to lie,

but we are all doing alright.

We took some time off from  TaeKwonDo,

but started up again this month.

We renewed our library card.

Brandon bought a car,

earned his Associate Degree

(and therefore a pretty sweet scholarship)

and moved into Christian Campus Housing.

Work is Crazy for Tyler.

positively nuts.

He is (literally) doing 2 people's jobs:

his own, and another manager's 

who was put on a special project temporarily.

The girls make so many messes work on craft projects 

all the time.

I don't know where they get that from.... ;-)

I made a couple of swimsuits

and we went to the beach.

I picked up drivers manuals.

Because I have another child 

old enough to get his permit,

and another one who will be

in the blink of an eye.

(I am so not looking forward to teaching 4 more kids to drive)

We started our 19th(!) year of home schooling.

I still don't have all of our books.

But I actually turned in our Intent to Homeschool form

over a week before it was due.

Lexi got to go to her first Razorback game

it's too bad she wasn't more excited about it...

Sadly the Hogs are sucking sooooo bad right now;

Tyler says I will probably need to wait til next year

to sell the quilt,

and I think he's probably right. 

Lily has moved up to Youth Group,

and Jeremiah is in high school.

That's enough for today, right?

I'll try to get back to posting more frequently

and in the meantime,

you can catch up with us

(or at least my sewing)

over on the Instagram

if you're so inclined.
