Well, now, we have finished two weeks of swimming lessons for all four of the older kids. It was much needed with the pool in the backyard and I am very pleased with the results! All of them have gotten so much better in the water. We swim just about everyday. Although, mama is picky! Lately it has rained and not gotten much warmer than 80 degrees so the water isn't very warm, I just watch. Although, I know that in my last trimester that water will be my favorite place to be for the relaxation and weightlessness of it!
We are getting more and more settled into our new home. It has been a relief to be getting into a more normal schedule around here. I feel like I'm getting my feet underneath me. We are getting back to our studies now and preparing for the new "school year". I will likely go ahead and start our 1st, 3rd, and 6th grade curriculum as soon as all of it is delivered. The Boy has already started working in his new math book. I finished our new schedules (lessons, chores, cleaning) today and posted them around the house. I'd like to have things running smoothly by the time baby #7 joins us so that the girls, at least, can keep up with their learning without my hovering over them. I get far too excited about ordering them curriculum and books. I got them a new map for the wall and a marble run set and I'm still shopping around for a portable drawer organizer. Today the kids and I made four batches of play dough. We are trying to get things done but also spend time with daddy before his school starts. We are also still visiting churches. Daddy still needs to build one more book shelf and put together the guest beds and organize the garage. A couple weeks ago Hurricane bought a bird! She has been saving up for 4 or 5 months for this purpose. She researched different types of pet birds and how to care for them. We found a breeder about 40 minutes away and she bought herself a cage at a garage sale. Robert helped the kids make bird toys to hang in it and then we drove out there and she purchased a parakeet. His name is Ethan. I had my first prenatal with my new midwife last Friday and that went very well. Everything is going smoothly with the pregnancy. Growth is right on, heart rate is good, baby is very active.
