Weekly Wrap-up: Wow What A Week!!

In our life this week... Boy how a week can change things. This morning I sit here with a great loss this week and a great gain. All within a few days. First, the loss. If you read my post here  you will learn that our Basset Hound of 8 1/2 years passed away. He was a sweet houndie that we miss a whole lot. My son was having an incredibly hard time dealing with this loss. I knew it would be hard but I was not prepared for the days we had Monday and Tuesday. My mom created this lovely collage of him for me.

While I could have waited for another dog, my son was having an incredibly hard time. I knew I wanted to find a dog that was good with children, easy to work with, loveable... We found her last night. I have always wanted a Golden Retriever because they are amazing dogs. I've always wanted to work with a therapy dog as well. One I love dogs, two I love helping people...;) So here's our new addition to the family: Meet Molly :)

In our homeschool this week... Needless to say we did not get near as much book work accomplished as I wanted. Let's face it. When your grieving it's tough to focus on division. So we took it slow and got a few sections in our math book completed. We also continued working on our cursive book we are reviewing and did some other items. It was basically a slow week that we just took our time.

People we're seeing and places we're going... We took advantage of our summer bowling pass and went bowling with friends. We also hit the library program this week and saw some creatures that make you squirm. We had friends over yesterday to play as well. It was a keep busy kind of week. :)

I'm working on... Trying to get finished up with 1st grade so we can take a break and get ready for 2nd. I want to get a table for the homeschool room and get some other things organized as well.

I'm cooking... Nachos, sloppy joes... and that's all I think. I'm telling ya. It's been an off week here... Oh and I will cook a cheesecake for daddy this weekend ;)

I'm grateful for... Friends and family listening to our ravings this week.
