Hello there

1.  Smoke detectors – one of ours went off tonight when a candle was burning too high and making a bit of smoke.  There wasn’t anything near the candle or in danger of catching on fire but the flame was high and apparently that was making a bit of smoke.  When it went off I figured the batteries were low but when I walked into the room you could barely see the smoke at the top of the room.  One very sensitive smoke alarm of which I’m very thankful because I know now that the least little bit of smoke in my home and that thing would be going off!  Yea, go check those batteries!  It’s worth the $10.00 or so you’d spend replacing all the batteries in your house!!!

2.  Abeka and a new school year – We will be using mainly Abeka this year and I am going on Monday to purchase curriculum for all three boys.  Last year I only had one at home.  This year I have all four.  Baby girl will be gone a couple hours each day but the boys are here for the year.  I found an excellent deal on 2 desks and 3 chairs at Stuffmart today and am happy with the way the school room is shaping up.  Pictures to come soon.

3.  No updates yet  – on the thing I asked you to pray for.  Hopefully there will be a breakthrough soon!  But I promised to keep you who are praying posted. 

Did I ever show you this picture?  What a gas!  I laugh at the drying techniques used at the camp grounds where I took this picture.  Only in SC!
