oh, there she is...

It is hard to believe that it has been two months since I last posted...or is it three...either way...much to long!

Life has been a crazy whirlwind of activity this summer...we finished school in early June, but didn't take a break in our activities...ever!

Emily did summer swim team, Jeremiah finished out his 'Spring' ball season in early July, Joshua finished his spring season in early June, but made All-stars and played until August.

Then football and fall baseball started up the next day.

Seriously.

The.Very.Next.Day.

Somewhere in there we enjoyed days at the pool with Grandma and I planned out our new school year.

Baby 'J', as our sweet little one in the womb is so dearly called, grew like a weed!

I actually had to have an ultrasound to rule out twins he grew so much one month! The ultrasound showed that all was well and on schedule... that the little one I was so convinced was a girl, was actually a BOY!
Bethany vowed that since Baby was a boy, she would never speak to it...and has since changed her mind and is totally in LOVE with him!

Jonathan potty trained himself...after several attempts to interest him in wearing big boy drawers and using the toilet like a big guy, which he was 100% not into...he just up and decided one afternoon that he was done with diapers...and has been diaper free for 3 weeks around the clock...Mama is convinced that this rocks!

We are back to school...today is our third day. So far all is going very well!

For those of you who are interested I will be posting about our curriculum later today and sharing our experience with My Father's World too.

For the rest...here are some photos from our summer...Enjoy!
