Oh Fall, Oh Fall, Where are you?

WOW!! Tomorrow it will be August. Where has the summer gone? As odd as it may sound, I am ready for school to start and fall to come on in.... It is HOT in Alabama right now. I mean take your breath when you walk outside HOT. I helped Dave mow the grass this morning. Another reason to wish for the fall season to come on in...NO GRASS TO CUT!! We have had a very playful, relaxing summer, but we are all ready to get into a routine again.

I am almost back to feeling 100% again. I still can tell I get tired easily, but that could be because of the extreme heat. I have very little pain in my side anymore. When I do have pain I still get a little afraid it is starting over...that maybe something has come loose inside there...it was just so traumatic, I guess feeling like that is normal.

Dave is almost completely adjusted to being back in the central time zone. He had a great trip. He is working on a video that I hope to post on here soon.

We are about to begin our 6th year of home schooling. Where does the time go? Abby will be in the 5th grade, Erin in the 4th grade, and Samo in the 2nd grade. We have all of our books ready, our little school room is all set up, and I think we are all actually ready to begin. One of the things I'm most excited about this year is that we will be studying American History. I really love the curriculum we have used the past couple of years.

Still working on training the dog. I was pretty good with the child training thing...not so much with the dog training. Not that there is really any comparison there :) We have tried the crate training, but he still uses the bathroom in his crate. Also when we put him outside he barks like crazy and really annoys our neighbors. We will get it right eventually......I hope.
