Counting Blessings

Well, now that school is done for the year, I can get back to blogging! I didn't know it at the time, but I've been looking forward to the summer holiday (unpaid though it may be!) all semester long. On the good side, things moved very quickly this semester, and before I knew it, it was exam time. I can only attribute this to the huge amounts of work going on at both school and home....see video from Father's Day for evidence:

It never ceases to amaze me the progress that the kids make from day to day, even. They are growing up so fast and it's difficult to take it all in sometimes. I can't begin to describe the difficulty of balancing an effective and fulfilling work experience with an effective and fulfilling parenting experience - and that's to say nothing about being a wife or an individual! But time marches on and I haven't gotten too many complaints lately, so I must have done a reasonably good job...As you can see, the kids are GENIUSES:

Okay, well, genius might be a strong word...but they are VERY entertaining and I could do with a little entertainment these days.
