Our school day began and ended earlier than usual today - so I have a few minutes to write.
I think we have finally found a routine that works for us! Hoorah! There are still some afternoon hours that I need to constructively fill... but for now, with an impending move and all, Andy Griffith is a very obliging entertainer. The kids have discovered The Andy Griffith Show. It drives me crazy. I can't stand silly. So, I sort, or pack, or nap.
The kids have been making bike ramps out of dirt. That has been a two-day project. Everything was going well... until someone decided that we needed a ramp on the hill "for the little kids." I truly hope that the inventor of such a plot did not intend the chaos that followed! A certain five year old madman rode down the hill full speed - Yikes! He lived. Come suppertime he will be bragging about his near-death-and-dismemberment escapade. For the time being, I am still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that ANY boy can live to be as old as he is - be that 2, 5, 8, or 37. No one who has raised boys, had brothers, or married a boy can ever doubt that we have "ministering angels!"
We have more or less given the garden over to the dog. With packing and all I do not have time to do a garden. And, I needed to pack and clean up the yard too. So, we took down our fence and cleaned up our garden area. We left the tomato plants, pepper plants, and 3 cantaloupes. The dog will undoubtedly eat the maters and melons. But, we will probably get a few more hot peppers.
Baby Jeremiah (now 8 months) is growing like a weed. He has been grumpy lately since he is cutting his top teeth. But, his grumpy is not all that bad. He is a happy baby. (This, by the way, is a huge contrast from the colicky baby he was the first 6 weeks of life outside the womb!)
That about sums things up. So, if I go another week or so without having time to write, you know that everything is fine. Just busy with school, packing, looking for housing, kissing boo boos, and playing ball...

Wow Bethany-you have so much going on right now. I received your email and have been praying for the perfect house at the perfect time.
We love Andy around here-I can appreciate the silly-except for Ernest T Bass-his voice drives me crazy! :)
You know, we have UPS down here too--we could be neighbors! :)
