Joseph's Birthday/ back to college

On August 10th, we celebrated Joseph's 15th birthday.  He invited two friends for a cookout and backyard campout.  I made his favorite cinnamon roll cake, and the boys built a fire and watched the meteor shower.  

On Monday, August 12, it was time to take Mikaela back to school.  While it was hard to say goodbye, it's comforting to know she feels she is right where God wants her to be at this point.

Tuesday the 13th was my birthday, and Wednesday I retrieved the school books from storage.  We plan to start home school next week when the boys return to school.
