TGIF

I am finally back online (for at least 5 minutes) and so will try to summarize our week.

Buddy update: Buddy won his game last night!! He started as pitcher, but had a hard time. He had 3 walks and, due to an awesome hit by the other team, gave up 4 runs. It was tough. On the flip side- he made up the runs with his bat! He was 3 for 3 at bat last night! I had to leave early, so I didn't get to see the last exciting inning. It was a much needed win and a real moral booster after losing twice. Buddy told me it was tough to see the faces of the guys on the other team- they were pretty down. However, he wasn't so sad as to want to give up his win! He is just the "devil" out there when he plays- intense!! I wonder where he gets that from? :o)

Martha has had a hard couple of days. She felt tired and weak on Wednesday and almost fainted in the afternoon. A really bad migraine came on and she had it the rest of the day, overnight, and into Thursday. Pork head! (say it slow..poor kid..) (inside joke!!)

I finally made the leap and ordered some homeschooling materials. It is one of my favorite times- getting new books. It keeps the excitement level high for the new year and provides hope- that maybe these new books will contribute greatly to my child's education!!!! Choose wisely, grasshopper!

Summer has begun, and I am happy to welcome it!!! Get out the floaties, towels, and swimsuites! Set aside serious things for a day and go to the beach! If you need any help with that, just let me know. Hodge Podge, Buddy, and Martha would be more than happy to join you in a day of sun, sand, and swimming.

Happy Summer!
