We are down to six now because Dori went off to college.  We see her once a month but that is about it.  Shannon and Catharine are both in high school and Chris and Michelle are in middle school. 

Everyone in the family is now vegetarians except Chris and Catharine-with Tracy and I flirting with raw foods.  Trying to be healthier and actually doing that is making a big difference in our lives.

I will work on making a commitment to this and see if I can get a regular posting going.

For those of you who don’t know we pulled a Green Acres-Left the big city and now live in a huge town of around 4000 people.  We got an old house that feels more like home, to me anyway, than anywhere else we have lived.  I know many will say we are insane but the pace of life, keeping up with the Jones, and three kiddos in Middle School and two in High school was getting to us.  We spent more time on the road running kids here or there than we did at home. 

This last weekend we went to a Science Museum in Hot Springs, AR and had a blast.  We did do a vacation at the lake but this was more of a spontaneous thing, kind of like the old days when we homeschooled the kids.  I think we found something that everyone enjoyed.
