Well, I turn 52 years old today and it is a great day.

We got back from Shelby convention last night at about 6:00 PM.  We were going to do a bunch of homeschool stuff, but instead of that, we ended up sitting around the table in the nook talking together as a family for about an hour.  It was very, very nice.  Kelly played and talked with all her new friends at convention just like last time.  Christian did, too, but his friend  Hunter was not there, so I do not think it was really the same for him.  Now that convention is over, we are really starting to get into the swing of homeschool.  Our friend Rebekah from Texas called last night to compare homeschool notes and she gave us some ideas about how we might improve our program a little.  They are heading off to Texas convention in about a week so they will have a little bit of a break from their homeschool for a few days.  It will be great to get them out here for a week soon so they can meet the professing homeschool kids in North Carolina.
