School's back in session and so begins another nine months without my girls. 11th grade sees Missy swamped daily with homework from the following classes:
Beg. Spanish
11th gr. English
Chemistry
AP US History
Geometry
and...
Floral Design (it's always nice to have a fluff class that's creative)
Tori's 8th grade experience thus far has been wonderful. She finally has teachers that care and have high expectations. Her teachers actually expect her to read daily. WHAT A CONCEPT!!! I'm anxious to see how far she's progressed by December.
Missy had her 17th birthday. It's hard for me to believe that she will be leaving in 1.5 years. It's too soon! She was just a baby with beautiful curls a few years ago. She still walks on her toes! I'm so sad and so proud.
Don and Missy went to FaithQuest. We went camping. Tori's playing soccer. Rupert and I are walking. Don's been riding his bike all summer to save gas money.
Budgeting is going well. It was so cool! We budgeted $100 for August and $100 for September for the girls birthdays. We actually had money to buy gifts rather trying to come up with the money last minute. It was awesome! This budget-stuff really works.
Until next time...
