WOW! It has been FOR-EV-ER since I have blogged. It has been kind of nice, but I feel like I need to journal more.
Summer was nice, but truly not the same. The kids and I have an empty spot in us from not going to the Lake House in N.C. It just makes it that much more important to make it happen next year. My kids talk constantly about it.
....Dani, next summer FOR SURE!
Austin turned 9 this summer, he is by far the smartest kid I know. I wish I could record some of the things he says, because his thinking is very complex. He wants to build a flying car, own businesses, and invent things. He is in the KOG program this year, which is perfect for him and his way of thinking. It is a little hard for him not to be the smartest in his class, but he is still the best reader and likes the challenge. He is just like his dad and always want to go rock climbing, camping, fishing, hunting, and hiking with him.
For his birthday we sent him on a treasure hunt with clues and the last place he went had a new bike waiting for him. He was SO excited!
Austin asked me to week ago to teach him how to knit. I am SO impressed! He has been knitting scarves like crazy. He always wants to go to the fabric store for more yarn.
His scarves look just like mine. He says he wants to sell them to Macy's or J.C. Penny. :) So cute!
So, if you want a scarf, he only charges $2 dollars plus the cost of yarn....yep he came up with the pricing. I would think 7 hrs. of his time would be worth more. :)
I feel very privileged to be his mom! Austin, I love you more than you will ever know!

Tell him we'll take 3! (My kids all need scarves.)
Austin you rock!! (Just bring them down to the early thanksgiving! Will you be there??)
We need two girly ones (with pink in them) and one manly one. :)
:) He will be so excited! How wide do you want them?
I don't think we will be able to make it for the early thanksgiving and Sam's baptism. I wish! It would be so nice to see everyone.
Let him go with his best judgment - whatever he thinks the kids will like.
Yay!!! I'm so excited!
