Update

It's been over three weeks since my last post.  Life has been busy; busier than I thought it could be as a stay-home-mom. 

We've been practicing homeschooling for several reasons.  One to get to know my children's skill levels, two to learn how the online system works, and three to have a routine in place for when we implement a full schedule of schooling versus a few classes.  We also have a bible time each morning after breakfast and they are enjoying reading their own bibles and learning more.  So far it is going well, it only requires a little preparation time on my part and the girls are loving it!

We've also been trying to do a field trip each week as well as a trip to the library and grocery shopping during the week to free up our weekends and evenings for family time with daddy.

A minor plumbing block ended up ruining our basement carpet in May, so we've spent a good amount of time making phone calls, getting quotes, and finally, finally! we will be replacing our flooring this coming week.  Our whole basement is empty -meaning the rest of the house has to absorb the additional furniture and misc. items we used to store there.  I haven't had a chance to work on the baby's nursery yet.  It is currently doubling as a toy room and play area for our girls.

My hubby and his father fixed our air conditioner -we had survived the first two weeks of summer without any!  Being 8 months pregnant made that a bit challenging, but we made it!  They also removed a dead tree from our backyard, and it will be a few weeks to get all the branches out to the curb for the trash company to take away.

The girls impressively passed a two-week session of swimming lessons...another challenge to sit in the humidity of the indoor pool as big as I am!  This pregnancy I am definitely much warmer than usual!  They brushed up on their skills and gained more confidence.  It's amazing how prettily they can swim when swimming for their instructors!  They certainly put more effort into their skills when trying to impress someone else. :0)

One month down, one more to go until baby arrives, and then the final month of summer will be adjusting and prepping to be a stay-home-mom of three!
