New driver!!

Miss Julia turned 16 on the 23rd and marched down to the courthouse the next day to get her license!!! Now the job hunt begins....

October brings...

YUM!

Mondays..

are always hectic! It is hard getting back into the swing after the weekend. We really need to get to bed earlier and get up in the morning earlier, too. ROUTINES! I love them but have trouble sticking to them sometimes. School is going along okay. Carlina and Julia are both doing My Father's World High School and seem to be liking it. It is our first year to try it. Katie, Alicia and Garrett are doing MFW, too...just the basics of it. Thomas is doing Kindergarten Lifepacs, but I don't officially consider him a Kindergartner for the records..next year.

Big news for us...we are moving sometime next month! We closed on our house and are starting to pack things. It will be a bigger place with more than one bathroom on 2.3 acres. We have not experienced country living since we moved off the farm in 2004.
