Summer Charging Along!

Summer has indeed been charging along for us this year!  With hubby still gone with the Army Reserves, we've taken several trips to see him and have gotten to do some great sight-seeing and vacation-like activities while we were gone.  The girls have had a blast!

We've also been super busy with our ranch- processing and delivering beef and pork all throughout the summer and we've expanded our beehives from 5 this year to 12 now - so this has taken quite a bit of time and effort!

My oldest is still participating in her archery league and loving every minute of it.  My middle daughter is taking some piano lessons through the summer and anxiously looking forward to getting started again weekly this fall.

Believe it or not, my youngest daughter will be starting Kindergarten with us this year - so I'll now be "officially" doing school with all three!  They are excited about getting started this fall and we are working super hard to finally finish converting our dining room into our primary school room.  It is coming along - we got started this week and are working at it a bit each day around some of our other activities.

For a new activity this school year, all 3 of the girls are going to participate in our homeschool association's weekly bowling league. They got a good taste of bowling when we were visiting their Dad at the Army base and they absolutely loved it.  So, bowling league it is this fall.  I love that all 3 will be able to participate in something they like and it is all at the same time, so no need for lots of "car time" getting to and from different activities!

I'm working now on our school schedule for the coming year, which I'll post when I have it finished.  This year we have a 6th grader, a 3rd grader and our little one in Kindergarten - seems so hard to believe!

Hope everyone who is still reading my infrequent posts is having a great summer!
