Catch Up

Last week I was at a wedding, with my camera (just for fun), and there was no photographer.  Turns out he'd gone to the wrong temple, about an hour away.  So I turned into a wedding photographer thirty minutes.  Not that I'm anywhere near professional or even want to be. Being a portrait photographer was a dream that I dismissed years ago.  But it would have been so sad to not have any pictures around the temple!

"S" is due in less than 10 weeks (9 to be specific).  That is just CRAZY!!!  I don't have a full menu done for the month, but I'm working on getting some meals into the freezer, so that when October comes, we'll be stocked and ready to go (or not go.  ANYWHERE.)

I thought "N" was an easy potty-trainer.  Then "A" was trained (trained here meaning that he tells us when he needs to go, no matter where we are) in 5 days with only 2 accidents (none of which were at night).  Now "J" thinks that she's ready to be trained and is training herself!  She tells us when she wants to go and we take her and 95% of the time, she really does something!  She's wearing pull-ups, though, because she doesn't always tell us.  And she hasn't woken up dry for quite some time.  "S" is going to have quite the challenge keeping up with his siblings!

DH changed jobs and is really enjoying the company.

Our A/C works.  Hallelujah!  (That week of 100 with minimal A/C was HOT!!!)

I'm working on making a plan for our first "official" year of homeschooling.  So far, the plan is to not have a plan, just do some basics and have fun.

good luck getting ready for the new little one. I feel like Nov is still forever away. Ellie starts kindergarten in 2 weeks. Doesn't it seem like just yesterday they were babies?

Did you know I have a picture you took at our wedding (close-up of my bouquet) framed and hanging on my wall? I always think of you when I look at it - you are talented, so I'm sure the pictures you took were great! I'm jealous that potty training seems to be natural for your kiddos! James is 2 1/2 now, and showing very little interest in the whole process ... I'm trying to not push it. Do you know if your having a boy or a girl next?

You know, I used to follow a blog that was really into "unschooling." At least I think that was what she called it. You should check it out. http://indietutes.blogspot.com/
