Light at the end of the tunnel

Okay. I think it may all be coming together despite all our impediments lately. First the dream house turned out to not be so dreamy. That was a big disappointment for all of us and put us back to the starting block. Next, we had a good one, but still one that caused problems. The mobile home (the thorn in our side) is now going to be sold. WOOHOO!!! However, we have a very short time span in which to find a new place to live. So now we are off to find a condo. One we are hoping we can live in for a while and will be a good investment property. We will still continue to look for the dream place, but we are now thinking this will have to be property and a house that we build.

Despite all this. It looks like we are actually going to get it together. We are settling into more of a rhythm with our days and the planning for the school year is off and running. In the meantime, Case and Amelia are reviewing some of what they have already covered in the past. Case learned long division this week and today learned how to add fractions with different denominators. Both Case and Amelia are turning out to be avid readers. I never would have thought this a year ago. Case is reading the Harry Potter series and A Series of Unfortunate Events and eagerly awaiting the final book in the Inheritance Trilogy. Amelia is reading the Spiderwick Chronicles and Little House on the Prairie.

We will be happy when we finally get to settle into a place we can call "home".
