happy new year......just a little late

Well my blogging has been lacking for a while. I got in a weird funk around September last year....and I'm still working my out of it. I would start to blog and just quit with nothing to show for it. I started this blog as somewhat of a journal slash scrapbook. So much for those few months...I've got alot of catching up to do (with the scrap booking part, that is). So where do I begin? I think I'll just start with January, where the new year begins. What a month this has been. We have had just about every sickness you can think of. It started on January 6th with Dave. He had a sinus infection. Then Samuel, Erin, and Abby came down with a stomach virus....Dave and I both followed shortly afterwards. Then Samuel had Pneumonia, Abby had a sinus infection, Erin had the swine flu....all the while I was having a really bad cold. We all were just about well, when I got another stomach virus. To say the least we are ready for some warm weather!!! Ready to get out of this house and feel some sunshine on my face!

School is going really well. There is just always alot to do! I never feel adequate to teach math. At this point I can still do the math (4th grade). I'm sure we will need a tutor in a few years. Dave is teaching Latin to the girls. He says they are doing really well. I can tell it's helping them with their English work also. Even on the hard days, I still love homeschooling.

OK....something fun. Dave and I are going to Hawaii. YAY!!!!! I am so excited. Well, I am getting excited. We are going with the band and choir students. I've been checking out what to take, what the temp will be, stuff like that. It is like 80 degrees there all year long. How cool is that? I'm sure I'll have more to say about that later. :)

Hawaii!! How fun! We've had a lot of sickness as well. In fact when Robby gets home from work I'm heading to the Dr! I have a sinus infection and I can't wait to get my antibiotics! I feel horrible! I'm with you about wanting the warm weather to hurry up and get here!

You have to listen to the Adventure in Odyssey episode about Hawaii. It is hilarious.
Have fun, soak in all the sun that you can. I am glad that you are back to posting.

How fun!! I think that we southern girls appreciate the beauty and magic of the snow more than the rest of the country because it's so rare! Enjoy it while it lasts!
