School Starts Back Tomorrow

If you are hearing any moaning and groaning from this part of the world, that would be Olivia and Meredith! Summer is over and school is about to begin. Tomorrow is the first day of school for Olivia's senior year and Meredith's freshman year of high school. Although both girls know that we need to start in order to get our days in so we can do some traveling this fall, it's sort of hard to work on Economics or Algebra when everyone else is out swimming or going to the movies. But if we stay on track, then we can take a few days off this fall to be able to travel to some places in Europe we haven't been. Plus, both girls have a heavy load of school and outside activities this year and we need extra time to get it all done.

If you count Olivia's kindergarten year, this will start our 13th year of homeschooling. We're thankful that we've been able to continue homeschooling here in Budapest. Although it HAS been a little tricky getting our curriculum each year! Thank you to the Elder family for allowing us to order our curriculm online and have it sent to their house in Alabama. Then, when someone is coming this way to Budapest, the curriculum is loaded up in the luggage to make the trek over. Talk about heavy bags! Curriculum weighs a lot.

We hope and pray that if you've got school-age children starting school soon that you'll have a terrific year filled with God's blessings!
