A very random updatey kind of post

As usual, I have been a bad blogger. I always tell myself I need to be more faithful and then I never am. Reminds me of my plans to stay on top of the ironing. *sigh*

Life here is going along at an alarming rate. How in the world can it be time to decorate for Christmas already? My goodness gracious! I feel as though I just did it! There is truth to the fact that the older one gets, the faster time seems to move. I have enjoyed fall tremendously this year. The mild weather, however has lulled me into believing it will continue forever. Not so. Time to pull out the greens!

School is going well. We just keep working hard every day, being diligent. Slow and steady does win the race. Myles curriculum is so interesting that it is making it easy to stick to it. The eastern hemisphere is something we know so little about. Curiosity has us by the hook. Did you know that in Japan, a child is one when they are born? The Japanese consider the time in the womb the first year of life. I found that so amazing. And beautiful.

Marcus and I are enjoying a Literature Seminar. We go each week to meet with a small group of homeschoolers to discuss a work of literature. I think I may be enjoying it even more than he is. I just love a good work of literature!

I got a new phone today and, silly me, but I am having lots of fun with it. It is a "smartphone". And it really does seem to be smart. It can search the World Wide Web, take pictures, text and even call people. It's a funny world we live in, isn't it? Our phones are smart. At any rate, I am having fun with it, but doubt it will hold it's appeal for long. In the end, I am just a simple girl who needs a phone to call home when I away, which is seldom. For now though it's cool. And the boys think I'm cool for having it, so we'll just go with that.

Well, I am off to light pumpkin candles while I still can. Mistletoe comes out next week, you know. Dinner must be made and the house straightened for Hubby's arrival. God is good to us, isn't He?!
