My poor neglected blog.

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted on here. Our computer broke down, so I couldn't load pictures. Then I started doing Facebook and it seemed easier to just post a few things on there, but I do miss journaling about what we've been doing, so I'm taking it back up.

We've finished our school year and begun summer. The last half of the school year was busy and fun. We had co-op from the first of February until the first of April. I taught a hands-on history class about pioneer life for David's age group and helped sponsor a class for Hannah's group that involved a lot of building contraptions with unique items.

We all four went to Tybee in February with Anita and had lots of fun there. In March, we found out that Darin might lose his job because of cutbacks. By the end of April we found out he did have his job, so we are thankful for that. The kids and I went with Anita, Seth, and Angela to Disneyworld in May. We had a great time there.

We were done with our schooldays by the end of May. Hannah finished up 8th and David finished up 2nd. They are growing so fast. I'm so thankful that God has made a way for me to be home with them all this time. He is an awesome and mighty God!

St. Augustine

We loved our trip to St. Augustine last week. We had so much fun exploring the area. It was super hot, so we went out in the mornings, headed back to the hotel in the afternoon for rest, relaxation, and air conditioning! We would go back out in the late afternoon for more fun.
We enjoyed visiting the Castillo de San Marcos and walking around the historic district. We loved a restaurant we found that served gourmet popsicles that are made with whole foods right on sight. It's called The Hyppo and is on Hypolita street.

We also enjoyed going out to Ft. Matanzas and the beaches. Here's my wonderful hubby on the boat ride over to the fort. The kids climbed up on this huge, beautiful tree, so I had to get a picture.

Thanksgiving Week

We went to Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving. We stayed 3 nights. The weather was cold, overcast, and foggy at times. I LOVED it! I've never been to the beach under those conditions and I think it was my favorite time to visit the beach. We walked at night with jackets and the cool breeze. We really did not do much, just relaxed, enjoyed the beach, ate out some, and let the kids go to a fun video game/scavenger hunt place. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at a Cracker Barrel. It was very good, except I didn't like the pumpkin pie. David didn't even want that meal, he wanted breakfast.

Oh, BTW, be careful when you go somewhere new! You never know what will be trying to get you!
