This was our first full week of summer. We finished up the last of the math work last week. I'm looking forward to a break during all of July and the majority of August. This is our first summer break we've taken in three years. We all need it! We are vegging out (and getting sore playing our new Wii!)

From the looks of things, and by counting out our days, we'll begin next school year on the day after Labor Day and finish up the Friday before Memorial Day. It feels good to be on a "normal" schedule. I'm all about the flexibility that homeschooling offers, but, at least for this year, this feels right.

We are looking forward to VBS next week. Cat Chat is sure to touch our hearts with "Cool Kingdom Party: Mary Leads Me Closer to Jesus".

I am working hard to be very intentional about our plans for next year. I am determined to have a Holy Hour each week. Lots of playdates (both kid and mommy) are a must for us. We are craving time with our friends after a very long winter last year with loads of sickness and a newborn. I want to create lots of good memories for my children with their sweet friends.

On that note, we have a pjs and donuts playdate (and maybe some pina coladas later in the morning for the mamas) this morning with precious friends. I can't wait!

I scored a great deal on two Vera Bradley bags on ebay. One is a large tote bag, and the other is a diaper bag. They come together and were less that half price.

Annelise turned 8 months yesterday. In just this week, she started giving me kisses, clapping her hands, and sitting up by herself. Slow down, baby girl! Mama's not ready.
