The end of the school year and our summer so far has been so full of activity and travel. Everyone finished school with flying colors. Joel loved his first year in seminary and received top marks for his work. I managed to not just survive our first year here but really enjoyed our first year homeschooling. Since the school year ended Joel has traveled three different weeks for work (we are so thankful for his job - contracting with his former boss/company), I've sent the big girls to three different VBSs, and we've traveled to Illinois and North Carolina for family reunions. We are looking forward to having about of month with minimum travel now to actually rest before school starts again!
We are still liking our apartment and love having our backyard - Elsa still considers it a "wonderful and wild" despite its tiny size and my continued attempts to "tame" it into a submissive garden. Two frogs have frequented our backyard despite Tabitha Twitchit's watchful eye - a four inch brown toad and this little tree frog. The tree frog has been caught and released so many times I'm surprised he still sticks around!
We think the frogs like our yard because they are friends with the fairies who live at the base of the poplar tree in our yard. Elsa has taken it upon herself to do regular house cleaning and yard work for them.
