Please pray for Dozer's family...

Marsha lost her 3 yr old son, lovingly known as Dozer, in a tragic accident on Tuesday. After being missing for a couple hours, he was pulled from the pond near their home around 10 pm.

Marsha is well-loved in the homeschooling family, and although I didn't know her personally, she has blessed so many with her blog and other contributions to homeschool resources.

To Dozer's Family:
I'm praying so hard that God will heal the heartache that you are going through. No family should ever have to go what you're going through, and I don't know what else to say to you other than - I AM PRAYING.

Small tribute to a fun and funny Dozer:

The vege garden and chickens ;)

I just realized that I never posted pics of the completed (for now) vegetable garden! We've left some grass in the ground in the area we don't have plants for. I've read it's better to have something rather than nothing. Once my clover seeds arrive, they'll replace the grass. Here's the pics:

And here are our most adorable 3-week old chicks!

Our "down" time is nearly over!

I plan on finalizing my plans for the next school year next week while the kids are at VBS. This summer has been so jam packed that I've hardly had time to think about it. Which is a good thing. Or is it!?

We also have some busy times ahead. I'm beginning to think that that's life - busy. Wonder why it's taken me so long to figure that out! I think my biggest challenge is going to be to learn to be consistant with school, even though the rest of life is so incredibly busy.

Off to organize the school room, which has move. Again. Pics to follow...
