Moving on....

OK on goes the blog.....Today is Friday and Monday we start school! It has been such a fun summer. We have spent day after day hanging out at the pool, celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, babies, etc., took a 2 1/2 week trip home, had friends and family visit us here, and overall just relaxed and made the most of our summer!
Here are the boys at their birthday party with some of their buddies

This year the boys will be using the same curriclum that we used last year. Clayton will be in 5th grade and Evan will be in 2nd grade. They will take art classes and science classes outside of our home. Evan also began violin and loves it, and Larry is teaching Clayton to play bass.

Larry and I aren't missing out on our chance to learn more this year either. Larry will begin a year of classes offered by FamilyLife called the Institute of Biblical Studies. His first class will be Principles of Inductive Bible Study. This will be the first time since high school that Larry has taken a class that involves actual study and testing! I think he is nervous but this is a wonderful opportunity that FamilyLife offers us to take classes from seminary professors that we can use to earn a certificate in Biblical studies.

In mid September I will start BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) again and will be leading a small group. I'm nervous and excited. We will study John, and if it is 1/2 as good as the study of the life of Moses that we did last year, I am in for a great year.

So off I go to the last weekend of freedom which will start with a date night tonight :)!
