Time Flies - Faster and Faster

It is amazing to me how much time has passed since my last post.  It seems like it was yesterday I was sorting through photos to find just the right ones to highlight my geocaching experience.

Now it is nearly the end of October!!! We haven't even purchased our pumpkins yet for the annual carving.  School is moving along in full swing.  Both boys are enjoying the new pathes we have chosen for them this year.

MikeG is thriving in the self-paced, independant world of  Liberty University Online Academy.  This is his 8th grade year and he has finally entered a project for a science fair.  Watching him work his way through the scientific process was a learning experience in itself.

Matt was forced to changed from our favorite curriculum because we had done every year they had written.  We do miss it.  Our new lessons are different, great, but different.  We are still figuring out the whole system but enjoying the information that includes catapults, knights, swords, and dragons.

Outside the house, our crew remains active.  All of us are still participating in tae kwon do.  The hubs is a 3rd degree black belt, soon to be joined by MikeG in January.  I am a 2nd degree black belt, soon to be joined by Matt in January.

The boys take piano lessons during the school year, leaving summer for many adventures - camping, biking, hiking, and of course, geocaching.  Baseball is still up in the air, if we will play this coming spring, but we will always support the Pirates by attending a few home games.

This is an exciting week at our church - Missions Week.  Dinner at the church Sunday - Wednesday, followed by a missionary giving his testamony about what is going on in his home away from home.  It is one of the favorite weeks of the year.  Kids have their own programming and the youth have some special time with the workers one night after the regular program is done. What a fun week of fellowship and missionary support!!

That is our fall fun at the moment.  It feels like each season flies by faster and faster.  Just as I was getting ready for summer to begin, winter is making its cool temperatures known.  Trees that were green yesterday, have dropped crimson, and golden yellow leaves today. Enjoy the moments as they happen, record them if you can, because the next thing you know, the year has started over again and new ideas and events are ready to happen.
