Short and sweet

What can I say??? To use Deonna's words...Hannah Montana say what??? I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. Let's see..
Homeschool is a challenge but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Justin Beiber is a huge hit at our house.
So are The Jonas Brothers, which turned out they happened to be in concert in Florida while we were visiting my parents..can you say one happy girl??
Her love for the beach is maybe more than mine..maybe. Not sure if that is possible.
She is very much a Daddy's girl.
Loves Astronomy and History but reading and spelling..not so much.
Has grown so much this summer..makes me sad.
New pics posted and hope to post more regularly.
God bless!

Terrible blogger!!

I am a terrible blogger!!
I have been in Florida taking care of my mother for three weeks after her surgery. She is doing much better and optimistic that she will continue to improve and begin to enjoy life and live without such pain.
Of course, Dee was with me and homeschool continued. The weather was fairly chilly but much warmer than the mountains of East Tennessee so we were able to go to the beach a couple of days. She was happy to ride her scooter in the neighborhood and walk around the golf course daily. I was extremely happy to see her relationship with my parents grow. I think my Daddy will miss her tremendously. I know she misses them.
Christopher has two months left in Afghanistan and then home to Germany with his wife. I am so ready for him to be home and safe. Corey will be leaving in a few weeks for Iraq and my emotions are getting the best of me lately. His tour will be at least a year and my heart breaks for him and his wife. Please pray for his safety and for time to go by quickly for him.
Dee has grown so much. Her speech has improved greatly and I am enjoying being with her everyday. We still go to the school for her speech weekly but she seems to love learning at home. I am trying to be a little more at ease with the homeschooling and understand that some days will be harder than others. I do enjoy it but worry if I am pushing her to hard or not doing enough. Teaching Head Start was easy compared to teaching your own children.
Her love of music is amazing. She is singing constantly and pretends to write her own songs. She says she is going to be a singer because she has talent but I do not have talent in singing..lol I can't argue with that. It's the truth!!
God bless!!!
