Homeschooling and a New Niece

Homeschooling is still going well, no major mishaps yet!! And I believe that the boys are actually getting more out of it than they did in public school. I wish I had the funds to go ahead and start the girls now too! They are begging me, and really it is not fair, hopefully God will answer our prayers and everything will work out. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Jeff and Sara Packard on the upcoming adoption of a baby girl!! Cant wait to meet the little gift from God!! I know that it will be a long haul and a difficult journey for them and we will pray that everything goes smoothley for them and that God watches over the baby and keeps her healthy and safe for them.  I cant imagine how hard it is going to be to wait for such a precious gift, we will pray for patience for their family, I know God will look out for them and everything will work out the way it is supposed to. We are looking forward to some down time as Motocross comes to an end Oct. 30th for the season. Bill will hopefully get a much needed break. But in the meantime he will be making a trip to the UK for his job. What a wonderful opportunity to explore other cultures, hopefully he can bring back some information to share with the kids. I have to tell you having the 2 boys home all day is a big change, it is like having 2 toddlers LOL as soon as their studies are done they are imediately wrestling, I am constantly on them to settle down. I guess this is the way boys bond..........LORD HELP ME!!! I thought teaching them was gonna be the hard part. Oh yah and I dont dare take a nap, the minute I drift off, it sounds like cannons going off or they come in asking 20 questions. I LOVE MY BOYS!!! Like father like sons!!! Is it illegal to give them Nyquil for lunch LOL?????  October 8th we will be taking a trip to Marion to the Mississenew 1812 reinactment for one of our homeschooling field trips!! I have a feeling Aiden will enjoy it more than Dalton but none the less it should be a very educational event!! I will try to get pictures and post later. Aiden is very excited to learn about "Olden Day' guns and cannons, he thinks that he should get to shoot!!  I DONT THINK SOO!!! I cant wait to watch the battles on horseback, I cant imagine my horses not spooking from all the gunshots. It better not rain that day!!
