What's Happening in our world

Recently my sisters have found themselves at home after leading busy lifes. In order to fill their time they have become avid bloggers and in so doing made me feel self conscious about my own. So in making improvements I have come in contact with people I haven't talked to forever. That's exciting. So I'll just give a quick update on our little lifes. Nate is here doing training. It's been 2 1/2 years and we are drained. He has devoted himself to this and we have had to adapt to him not being very involved with daily life. He should be done in the spring and we will be at the army's discretion. But for now we like our little house and busy life. In July I got called as Relief Society President here in our Fayetteville ward. What a humbling calling it has been. Let's just say that responsibilty defiently makes me feel like an adult. I love the sisters in my ward and I am learning a lot about myself. (That's not always a good thing.) I have been homeschooling Morgan last year and this year. She is in the second grade. We are really enjoying it although it does require a lot of energy. We are following the Charolotte Mason approach and Morgan is just loving her nature studies. Aleah is on for the ride. She loves having her sister home. They have a lot of fun exploring together and bringing home every rock and leaf they can find. Kelsey is in the fifth grade at our local public school. She is learning the violin and loving it. She is also in the art and Battle of the Books club. She has a great teacher and some good friends this year. She is also progressing nicely with her piano. It's fun to teach her and her sister along with four other students. In our spare time (Ha) we like to go for walks, bookstores, play games and do crafts. I love to do emboidry. Most of them I end up giving away but I found a few a kept around the house. Well I just realized I practically wrote my Christmas letter. So maybe I'm actually ahead of schedule thes year. Wow that's amazing!
