Lorena, Kelly, and Christian will arrive home from Oregon this afternoon.  They are getting on the airplane in Portland as I write this email.  Now, maybe I will have something a little more interesting about which to write.  We have a busy September ahead of us with new projects, new goals, new daily homeschool schedules, and and another new Betty Blonde t-shirt to give away.  One of the big changes in my life is that, when Lorena and the kids are here, Rubix and Kiwi, the twin cat sisters will give me a little peace.  Talk about high maintenance cats!  I will start talking a little about our projects over the next week or two.  They include Lorena’s upholstery project, Christian’s robotics project, and my programming projects.  We need to think of a good and difficult new project for Kelly, too.  In addition to all that, Christian’s guitar lessons and Kelly’s piano lessons are about to kick into high gear again, too.
