We're Alive . . .

I'm sure it must seem like we have dropped off the face of the earth! I am usually so much more regular with my blogging, but we have just been crazy busy around here. We got back from the yearly Wright-Patterson AFB OCF/Chapel retreat at White Sulphur Springs Monday night. We like to go up for that to see my parents, as well as old friends from our assignment there. They had a really fun group this time--almost 80 people! We had a great time! As soon as we got back, we had to get ready for the kick-off of our other homeschool co-op, the one we usually participate in. That was Tuesday. Then I had to get ready to tutor Classical Conversations, which was today. Tomorrow we are again leaving for the weekend. We're going "cabin-camping" with 18 other families up in Maryland--130 other people! The McC's are the ones who got us in on this, and they said it is so much fun. It's with a bunch of other families from our co-op (big families--can you tell by the numbers?!), and they are a very fun bunch! We are expecting to have a ball, but again, it's more packing, followed by a ton of very dirty laundry and unpacking on Monday! Whew! I'm pooped! We won't be going anywhere for the next several weeks . . . not until Sept. 22, when we are heading down south to go to Williamsburg during thier "Homeschooling Days". Actually, that's not all that far away . . . Anyhow, here are a few pictures from WSS.

The obligatory "wagon shot". I don't know how many family pictures we have had taken here! We're taking up more and more of the wagon though, LOL.
Eating breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa. The girls especially were so thrilled to have Grandma and Grandpa there! My parents are right now flying to Seoul, Korea, for a conference and to visit friends who were here at AFIT. They'll be gone 10 days, so pray for their safety and for a good trip for them!

Nathan and Luke were huge helpers in the kitchen after the meal. Usually they like doing prewash, but this year they branched out into silverware prewash.

Jonathan was a super sweeper, and he also really liked washing down the tables.
A few more pictures in the next post . . .
