Summertime!

In May we completed our 11th year of homeschooling!  Yay!

Celeste left a few days ago.  She was here for a 2 week visit.  I really enjoyed seeing her and spending time with her!  We even got in a very quick trip to Sarasota to see her grandparents.  Eden came along so that we could spend some "girl time" together. Celeste is doing very well in college.  She is taking summer classes and was accepted to Southern Illinois University for the fall semester.  She is very homesick for Florida and her friends.  Having her here and spending fun time together reminded me of how much we enjoy each other's company.  Here are a few pictures from our trip...

Currently, we are experiencing the hottest June in years.  Most days the temperature is 94-97 degrees.  Whew!  In just a few minutes we are going to head over to swim at Grandpa's pool.  Dan and Max swim well and taught themselves.  I am hoping Tommy and Eden will be swimming on their own by the end of the summer.

Today we went to our local library and signed up for the summer reading program.  The kids can't wait to earn free Taco Bell, McDonalds, Moe's, and a book from Barnes & Noble.  They all love to read.  Our library website is fantastic and recently I figured out how to download eBooks to my Nook.  That is quite neat!

Jamie arrives in 2 weeks and will be staying with us for a month.  I can't wait to see him!  I wonder if he is taller?  What are your plans this summer?  I would love to hear from you in my comments.
