wow where does time go?

I can't believe the last time I posted was in late August. Life has been HECTIC to say the least. We have settled into a routine somewhat for our studies and are busy with the new ice hockey season. We went away for a tournament in Anaheim Calif. Labor Day weekend and they are heading out tomorrow for a tournament in Phoenix this weekend. These are the times I am SOOO glad we homeschool. I can rearrange our schedule however I want. I can't imagine what the teachers of these boys are thinking about them being pulled out of school for 2 days already when they have only been in for 3 weeks now. Steve is taking Josh this weekend because I didn't want Lauren to miss again. We did allow her to take off a day so she could come to the Anaheim tournament. This and the championship games in Salt Lake City are the only times that we travel as a family. It's too expensive for all of us to go all the time and Lauren would miss too much school. NOT a good thing as a freshman in high school.

I will have some free time with Josh being gone so I'll try and post some things about what we have been studying, books we've been reading and things we have been accomplishing. (or at least trying to LOL)
