First, some random cuteness. Some photos that I have not posted to any particular blog post.
I am the proud owner of a new Kindle! It just finished its first charge, so I will probably rush through this random blog so that I can go play with my new toy! I finally decided that I really have no need for an iPad (my iPhone and laptop take care of more than enough computing needs for me). I like the simplicity of the Kindle, and the ease on the eyes. I have always been an avid reader, and I've been reading Kindle books on my iPhone since the release of the Kindle and the app.
I have our homeschool lessons planned until the end of next June! This makes me feel very accomplished and it gives us direction each day as we know exactly what we need to accomplish. I lesson planned forward 185 days. We take pretty frequent vacations, so the year round homeschool schedule really works great for us. We are fortunate to live in a city with several homeschool stores, including one particularly big one that we visited last week. I bought everything that we need for the next year, and I've been so excited with all of my great purchases! I feel so fortunate to be able to homeschool. It is not for everyone, but it works so well for my family!
I need to step up my 500 in 2010 miles a notch or two. I will make the 500 this year, but probably by the skin of my teeth!
I love these afternoon thundershowers that we have been having here.
I'm feeling some facebook fatigue. I think facebook is basically a good way to stay in touch with lots of people, but I absolutely do not have time to keep up with it all the time. I'm not on there quite as often, but I will still check in now and then. I'm generally reducing my online time as it is. I can accomplish so much more if I just reduce it.
Kindle is drawing me to it like a big magnet now, so I gotta go.

What cuties!!!
I love the pictures. Mariele's big smile in her purple dress is my favorite. She and her big sissy are looking identical these days!
I love hearing about your homeschooling. I am absolutely dreading my Maddie's start of kindergarten here in the next month, as we've never been apart or gone the pre-school route. You are one amazing woman, and I will live vicariously through your blog posts.
I'm so impressed with your lesson planning! Wow.
And man are your girls beautiful.
Your girls are adorable! Mariele is looking so grown-up.
And how do you get the Kindle app for your iPhone? I wouldn't mind having that.
Karen, it is a free app. Just go to the app store. Of course you have to buy the books. You need to have an amazon account set up to buy books.
I am glad you are enjoying your new Kindle! Its so interesting to hear about the home schooling, and you sound very organized so you'll make a great teacher! Lovely pictures of the girls!
