It's cloudy and cool out. The windows are open and there's a slight breeze.  I love it.  For some reason, having the windows open lifts my spirits.  I feel  a little dizzy from all that's going on- or getting ready to go on.  We're starting school next week.  I'm really excited about all our "stuff."  We're trying something new this year- Classical Conversations. It seems to be a rigorous program and good for my own accountability.  I have to say, though, that I'm a little nervous about it.  Not for the kids' sake but mine!
Trying to enjoy these last few days before we get started while trying to finish up a few things around the house.  Now that's a laugh.  Will I EVER be finished with anything around the house?  I doubt it.

Lucy's just about to crawl- not sure how I feel about that.  And she's decided that she loves men.  She will go to any man whether she knows him or not.  But if a woman tries to hold her, she tightens her arms down and holds on tight.  She's so funny. And sweet.





Samuel's had a couple of cute things to say lately.  He was pretending to take my picture yesterday and told me to "Smile happy!"    He also seems to have growing up on the mind.  This morning he asked me "When am I going to grow up Mommy?"  Also, at the beach, "Little boys with big daddies and big brothers can go in the big waves."  I wonder if he's just feeling little lately...
