We had a nice beginning to August, with temps in the mid-80s. I wish we had been able to attend the State Fair, with temps being so nice, but we were recovering financially from our kid-filled summer!
Homeschooling: I spent the first week of orientation watching videos, asking questions, and getting acquainted with the K12 program. Week #2 went well, with the youngling 'reviewing' last year's material in Math. Week #3 was a little bumpy, when I realized he was not doing all the reading, plus his new medication supplements arrived, and figuring out the correct dose/combination took a few days. He's also not doing Study Island correctly, something we have the next three days to correct.
House Hunting: Still looking.
Books Read: 4

Yeah, rather dropped the ball on the reading this month....most of my free time was taken up with either Solitaire or DS9 on Netflix. In my defense, I have really enjoyed rewatching this series!
In good news, I have a new adopted granddaughter, born Aug 30th, at 8:07 pm. Miss Madison Renee weighed in at 6lbs, 4 oz, and is 21.5 inches long.
I got to hold her yesterday:)
Festivals/Signings: I set up at both the Watermelon Festival and the Wine, Cheese, and Art Festival this past month and sold four copies of Love Weighs In:) I've already heard back from one reader, so yay!
Mom's Health: My mom had a horrible two weeks with back pain and being in the hospital. Thankfully, she's been diagnosed with Spondalosis, or Osteoarthritis of the Spine, and is now on a Pain Management regime which seems to be working. I was told she was going to have surgery this week, but instead, she's seeking a 2nd opinion before going under the knife. I'll keep you updated!
