The problem with falling behind on a journal of any kind, is a reluctance to go forward before catching up on the past. Unfortunately, that means that the more behind one falls, the less likely one is to get caught up, the less likely one is to ever start again. Over the past week-plus of my blog hibernation that something exciting has happened I've thought "Great! I now have something to write about and pictures to share!" quickly followed by "Oh, but I have to catch up first." So how about a quick catch-up post—everything that has happened, or at least everything that I have pictures of (pics or it didn't happen!), and then we'll move on from there.
Journaling the trip
Climbing at the park with HAA (our homeschooling group that meets once a week)
I found this word fun on the floor one morning.
On the first day of September we drove to a Lake Michigan beach to visit with family and soak up some final joys of summer.
We had science over for dinner.
And we partyied in our garden, finding the first signs of fall and ridding the beds of weeds.
And I'm calling that caught up. Tomorrow is the first day of school for many, just another day for us, but I'm sure it will be a great day.
