There have been so many times that I meant to blog this week, but I didn’t. I guess I’ll start out with some pretty big news. We have decided to homeschool this year! Yes, we kinda waited till the last minute to decide, which has left us scrambling to pick out curriculum and other homeschool supplies. We ordered all of our books, and a new desk for Wesley. I’m hoping to start school on the 23rd. I am really excited/ terrified, which I’m told is exactly how I should feel. Of course I will be keeping everyone informed of our new adventure.
I have also been busy planning Wesley’s 8th birthday party, which is next week. We are having a batman themed sleepover on Friday night and we will have a family party on Saturday. This will be the first time Wesley has had friends over for a sleepover. I think it will be a lot of fun.
Thursday, Eric and I celebrated our 10th anniversary! I can’t believe how fast ten years have gone by.
We went to dinner together. We had our little sidekick (Ava) with us. I’m hoping that maybe next year we can take a trip together, since we couldn’t this year.
Here are the beautiful roses Eric gave me.
Earlier this week we had a playdate with the Riggs family.
Abby and Wesley have been pals their whole lives.
Silly faces.
We had a great time!
Also this week Emma made AMAZING progress at the pool. She started out jumping in to me in the shallow end. I put her floaties on her and she started swimming all over the pool and had a blast! She even jumped into the deep end. I have no idea what made her decide to do this, but she was amazing.
I’ll try to get some video of her this week.
Lastly, Eric and I have been shopping for a car, and we got a great deal on this beaut. Here is our new sweet ride.
Ha Ha! Kidding.
It is almost that time!!

We had a blast at your house, Abby was glad to get her Wesley fix! She has missed him so much!! Good luck with the homeschooling! I know you will do great!
Homeschooling rocks – it’s what ALL the cool people are doing.
So glad Emma had more fun in the water. We need to reschedule our pool playdate – maybe this time we’ll pick a day when there isn’t a tropical storm moving through.
You can do it! Just take it slow and steady – there will be bad days just like everything else in life but there will be good days too. : )
So exciting to hear about you homeschooling!!
And happy anniversary!! Our 10 year is coming up in a few weeks too!!
Thanks Candace! I’m very excited and love to look at your blog for inspiration.
