Another School year

Wow! I haven't posted in a long time. Seems like there is either nothing to write about or too much to write about so I just don't. :-) Summer is over and we are all back in the swing here. Jerry started work officially on Sept 1st. He passed all his tests this summer with no problems. It was nice having him home for the summer but it was really time for him to get back to an office somewhere and have a little less "together" time. He is now getting all our insurance switched over, finishing his training and trying to find new clients. Lots of pressure for the poor guy. He also is joining the board of directors for the Clarity Clinic. (formerly Crisis pregnancy center) there is some fund raiser coming up soon.

The kids are back at school now in our sun room. It's a great set up, we don't have to haul stuff out to the kitchen table anymore. I'll get curtains made for the French doors and then you won't see the mess out here at all this winter. Molly and Abby are busy in band. Molly was asked by her band director to start tenor sax and by 1/2 way through the year he wants her on baritone sax. He needs a baritone sax player for the jazz band and that suits Molly just fine. Abby has been asked by Molly's director to join the 6th grade band as they are short on alto sax players. She will practice 2 times a week with her 5th grade band and 3 times a week with the 6th grade. Just some of the privileges these home schooled kids have with flexible schedules. Jared will be starting trumpet soon with the beginner 4th grade band.

I am running lots now with school, work, Bible studies, and being puppeteer mom. Since school started I haven't been walking with my neighbor and friend Marianne. As much as I disliked getting up early this summer I really miss our walks.

Maybe now that we are out here in the sun room for school every day I'll be better at posting....we'll see!
