Grandchildren are great rewards
















Gotta love grandchildren! What a blessing these grandchildren are to me.

New school year craziness

Well, we started our new school year with a bang with Gustov bringing wind, rain, coastal flooding, but basically doing very little damage. We spent the day getting oriented and watching the sky. We were very grateful that we missed the worst. Nightmares of Katrina made us a little edgy.


Every new school year, we are hit with numerous challenges. This year, is no exception. This next week, we are expecting daughter number one to give birth to her fourth child for which we have to travel to AL, daughter number two to fly to Ohio leaving the twins with us, hurricane Ike might hit us, school, my job etc... But we are enjoying school even with the extra challenges. I love homeschooling my girls and love learning along side them. What a blessing!


On a sadder note, today we found out that our puppy died last night. She was fine night before last, but was sick yesterday. Hubby took her to the vet who kept her and told us this morning that she died. They do not know what was wrong with her. The pup that died is the one on my daughter's shoulder in the picture above. The girls are so sad. So far, the other pup and our older dog are fine and show no sign of illness. 24 hours from fine to dead is really hard to take.
