And now, our autumn is shaping up nicely also…

I know I basically post here quarterly, but if you think about it, out of six people in this house who are able to post on the Internet, I certainly am doing my fair share. 
This fall, Jode and I have begun teaching at a home school co-op in Lincoln. We are really enjoying teaching there, even though we teach two different classes. Jode is teaching on Christian Worldview, and I am teaching on Film-making-the art of film, culture, and Lordship. We both have good classes, with most students interacting (!), and find that even though Tuesdays are really hectic, we love it. It is a blessing to be doing this together.
Cori is going to college, commuting with Jode each day. She is majoring in Journalism, and is just doing great.
Nathan is not doing Tae Kwon Do this year, as we decided the school here in town does not offer what he really needs. He is enjoying his school year this year, and most of his classes are being taught through the co-op, which takes quite a bit off my shoulders.
Anna is also taking most of her classes at the co-op, and has a part time job. Whoever said Anna could grow up out there is in big trouble with me. She is growing into quite a beautiful young woman.
Cassie is enjoying horse riding lessons (a ton!), art classes, and reading. She also is growing to be quite beautiful, but would fiercely deny it! Still a bit of a tomboy, but I suspect she will outgrow that soon enough.
Ben is reading like a madman, and asking me questions like, “Mom, if we live have 17 miles to go on this trip, and are going 75 miles an hour, how do I figure out how long it will take me to get to the end of this trip?” I have not had a nine year old ask me this stuff yet, so I suspect he will be good at math. Ha!
William has begun school here at home this year, and is loving it. He is eager to learn to read (and his mother is eager for him to learn to read), talks all the time, loves Legos, and train tracks, and is all around BOY! Very wrestle-y much of the time.
We now have a zoo of three cats, the beast dog (who, incidentally, grew to be over 55 pounds-so much for a “small dog” I was hoping for…I should have known), and a beta fish that is over a year old (I thought they only lived three months).
I am still working one night a week, Jode is at the university still, and we are fixing up the house-fencing the yard for the beast dog, tiling the bathrooms, kitchen, hallway, painting the exterior (just the trim), and updating cabinets and the downstairs bathroom. Just a typical season in our household!
