What's happening at the homeschool homestead?

Well, I'd like to say that I have my whole garden in, I repainted Jordan's bedroom, reorganized the kitchen cabinets, and have been working out everyday and that is why I haven't been onto the blog in over two months! But that would be a lie. The garden is not even close, I have the seeds, I have a vision - I just don't have the time! I am missing home grown veggies and the thought of spending $2.00 on a gross store bought zucchini drives me nuts, but what can I do? Well, get the garden in for one, I guess! So, the plan to paint Jordan's room hasn't happened yet either. She picked out a lovely shade of lavender, she even started removing the wallpaper the other day - on her own. But we just haven't had the time to really focus on a painting project -- hopefully soon. Maybe before she leaves for college! Working out doesn't seem to be happening either. So what have we been doing? I don't really know.

We have had several family members visit, which has been great fun! Alex is working diligently on scholarships and counting down the days until he goes away to college. He is still taking his flying lessons each week and changed to a different plane recently. He is very close to earning his pilot's license. Travis is playing soccer, planning his Eagle Scout project and he just participated in a fun Civil war reenactment, all that in between fun social activities. Jordan has been very busy with her social calendar too. It seems like she is always going over to visit with friends or they are at our house. I'm thrilled and so is she. She also started babysitting recently for a little 2 year old neighbor. It was a huge milestone and she is a fun and responsible babysitter.
So that's it for now. I have pictures to post and lots to share. So stay tuned! Hopefully I'll be writing again in less than two months!
