Well it's been a while, hasn't it? I have actually been a little busy. I went to Baton Rouge for a practicum with Classical Conversations. Did I mention God has opened that door for us?! I will be tutoring two classes. I was very nervous but after the classes that is no longer the case. I'm excited now! I won't lie there is still some reserve nervousness but I think it's healthy.

I'm going to Lafayette next month for the practicum for the 2nd class. I will take Syd and The baby, my two shadows. We will have fun. I took V and Syd (& of course the baby) to BR and it was quite the task getting used to bring his ONLY caregiver while in conference. Picture, if you can, me trying to take notes while trying to keep an 8 month old crawling, vocal baby entertained. It was certainly a challenge. By Gods grace we made it though.

My big boy went off to camp this week and this is the first year he is alone! No Uncle or cousins like he's used to. I just want to be with him because he admitted he is sad but I know I can't. He'll be just fine. It's me I'm worried about. I did write to him per his request. He such a sweetie. Come on Friday!

Well the Fourth of July is next week. It's on a Thursday this year. It is unusually difficult to celebrate a holiday like that'll week. I don't know if I am supposed to wait till Saturday or just cook on Thursday. I don't mind it that way but we will have company this year and in sure they have to work Friday morning so I don't want to keep them too long. It will be fun.

This is a very lively stage if life. Babies all around, jobs taking us here and there, weddings etc... I can't help but wonder what the future me will miss most. I know ice said that before and I know I should be enjoying the moment but sometimes I can't help it. Speaking of jobs, I have not worked outside the home in a year!!! I have NEVER not worked that long! I am still adjusting but I know it will be an even bigger adjustment for me when I do go back... whenever that is. Part of me misses being in the workplace and conversing on topics other than who hit whom and why. Another part of me knows how long I've prayed for this and wishes that first part would shut up and sit down.

Well I'm excitedly looking forward to this new phase. I will attempt to keep you posted!
