Gearing up for the school year...

This year is going to be very busy for us. Not only am I working full time, but this is Becca's senior year, and Jessica's freshman year. There will be a lot of work to do for both girls. 

Rebecca has SAT to take, scholarship and grant stuff to investigate, colleges to apply to, decisions to make.. And she has to finish up all the work she needs to to graduate in June. She is not only working hard to finish her JR/Sr year in one, she is also taking dual credit courses at TCC this year. 

And I just realized I am going to have to get Senior portraits done.. 

My Becca - a Senior this year!

Jessica will begin her freshman year in 2 weeks.. we are doing co-op also, for some Elective classes, plus she has art classes on another day. She is also busy writing her stories, 

My "baby" Jessie - Starting High school this year!

Then for both girls we cannot leave out the fact they have their roles in the Dorothy Shaw Bell Choir. Both girls are senior choir members now.. so that means 2 rehearsals a week, performances, Bass Hall weekend after Thanksgiving, Littlest Wiseman for a few weeks after that.. Spring break trip.. Wow.. spring break.. NO KIDS.. .what will we do ??  (something to look forward to! 31 years of parenthood and Daryl and I will have a full week with no kids at all.. Don't believe this has EVER happened before! )

Then we have their social life that cannot be neglected...  Teenage girls NEED to see their friends often..   well, that's what I have been told. 

Our friends... They make our homeschool life so much more fun!

Raylen starts Kindergarten next week. I cannot imagine what my life will be like now, without seeing her every week. I have had her to watch since she was a newborn. We are very close, and I love her so much. I told her I was going to miss her when she starts school next week, she told me she would miss me, and she would miss snuggling with me. Then I got a huge hug and a snuggle, while we sat here and watched Inspector Gadget together  (smile).

My beautiful 5 year old granddaughter and myself..

I think this will be our busiest school year yet. and I have been homeschooling the kids for 15 years this fall.. Where did the time go?
