Updates Over the Past Three Years

So it's been three years since I last posted. And much has changed since 2015. We're still a military homeschooling family. Princess is getting ready to start second grade, Butterfly is starting kindergarten, and Busy (one of the many changes) is 6 months old and trying to keep up.

So obviously Busy is new. She was a surprise, but very welcome, addition to our family last winter. It's been an experience learning to homeschool with an infant added into the mix, but I'm figuring it out and I'm hopeful for a productive year for all three of our girls.

We are also no longer living in Nevada. This past summer, we PCSed (aka moved) to Virginia. It's been hard leaving the village that we built for ourselves out west, but an exciting move since it puts us within about a half days drive of our family. And it made for an exciting family road trip across a desert, two mountain ranges, a prairie, and ten states. We're mostly settled into our new home, and trying to settle back into our normal routine. The biggest homeschool change we're finding (other than the new base doesn't have a co-op or other homeschool programs that we're used to) is having to register both Princess and Butterfly (Nevada I didn't have to register Princess until she turned seven last winter) with the local school district, testing Princess (Butterfly gets a pass this year since she won't be six before September 30, 2018), and then having to re-notify for both the older girl for next school year.

My hope is to actually keep the blog updated, and try to get in a post a week.
