Summer 2016

This summer has been uneventful.  We did not vacation anywhere but remained in Tupelo, but our sweet little dogs have entertained us immensely. Keira rode a few times at the farm where she takes English riding lessons, and we went swimming. She has spent several nights with friends and has had friends at our home for days at a time. But, I suppose that is what summer is for. :) And I love all of her little friends and enjoy having them visit.
 We have been looking for a church for quite awhile since we left the previous one. We have enjoyed the churches we have visited, but I think we have finally found one that will be suitable. It has a large youth group for Keira, and she will have a great program on Wednesday evenings as well as Sunday and Sunday evenings. I am happy for her, my little sweetheart loves going to church, so thankfully, I have found one that will be good for her.
  Matt is working of course, and I am keeping busy with writing and of course preparing for my and Keira's newest endeavor-Homeschool. We began homeschool in January and finished in May. Now, it's time to start school, and we will be taking our homeschool program with A Beka Academy Homeschool. It is a Christian program from Pensacola, Florida, and is fully accredited. This means that she will receive a diploma from them, and a graduation as well. I like this program because through their online or video program; she can participate in a virtual classroom, with a real teacher and a class of students. I will still teach her as well as administering tests to her and sending the tests to A Beka for record keeping. She will have access to tutors via phone should she need extra help, so that is a really nice thing about this program. We homeschool moms are not left to do this alone. There are also homeschool programs we can involve ourselves in locally so I like that too.
Sorry, I've not shared much lately, but I'll try to do better. :) In the meantime, enjoy the updated pictures when I get them on here. :)
