Getting closer to being ORGANIZED for school! This past week, we were up in Austin, and while Noelle was at Texas History Camp (she had a great time) and while Mark and Gabe floated down the many rivers of the hill country, I was holed up with binders of curriculum and a calendar. :) And, I got much more accomplished than I thought!

I am so excited to have the first semester of 2nd Grade all lined out! (with God's help, we may actually be able to manage the plan!) I am partially ready to start drawing out 5th grade, just a scotch more reading and deciding to do...so, I am pretty stoked. We're going to start THIS Monday reviewing and tidying up (mostly the class room) and finishing un-done tasks from 4th and 5th grade (mostly practicing). It's my hope that by getting into our rhythm now, when the baby comes, we'll be more likely to flow in the groove...but, I am also ready to scrap it all for plan B, which is... uh, in the works? LOL!!

This Monday I will be 37 weeks and holding... I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. I can't believe I can still wear my rings! We are all SO excited about the baby coming, we don't know what to do with ourselves! Tomorrow the midwife is coming over to check out the house and make sure she knows how to get here. I spent time today making final shopping lists for any supplies I need for our home birth, and I hope (after resting and working on getting well) that my mom and I can knock out the list this week. Wow, 37 weeks.

Ok, so I have a brown haired, hazel-eyed daughter, and a blonde, blue-eyed son... any guesses as to what the next one will be?
