Adjusting and keeping busy...

The days are just packed around here! We are still at the extended stay hotel and will be for a while longer. We have made an offer on a house in Louisville and hopefully it will all be good to go in a couple weeks- Lord willing! The house is in a quiet area and has plenty for our family and guests if when they come visit! We have agreed on a purchase price- now the house inspection and details. So for now we will be thankful for the roof over our head and look forward to a house- with more than one bathroom, a yard that is not pavement, a key to the front door that will de-magnetize in my purse, more than a one pot to cook with, dishes for two maybe even three meals, sleeping on beds and walls- not creatively hung sheets! We will remember this experience!

The kids have been accepted at the homeschooling school and all 3 joined in the cross country running team. We were not quite ready for the running yet- Luke only had his hand-me-down heely shoes (without the wheels) as he gasped and griped around the track! At one point I told him the complaint department was closed- I had my fingers in my ears! These were his only shoes that would even come close to working for the running-other options were flip flops and crocs. Somehow I don't think the running coach would be MORE impressed with those. Luke is quite proud that his heelies can do tricks- without the wheels- like when he kicks a ball they fly UP into the air and OFF his foot. I know that trick would impress his enthusiastic coach even less! He really did well- as did the girls- they all have new runners now and are excited to go to another practice. (I hope)

I have attended a couple sessions at the school to get some training to help the kids be ready for the classical education- grammar, latin and phonics based spelling! Wow- we are in for some learning around here. I do feel a little overwhelmed at times- along with everything else we are trying to get into place. We have not even attempted looking for a vehicle yet! So I'm pretty sure we are the only ones at the Seminary with a BIG Ford diesel F350 truck! A few people have been surprised to see a lady driving a truck around! We found out that Dad's truck has come "home"- it was made at the Louisville Ford truck plant!

The kids have been amazing- all 3 will play lego in the room and keep each other entertained- mostly. Luke still likes the parking lot and his scooter!

Well- must sign off for now- bed time yet again and another full day tomorrow!
