Blog Hiatus?

This blog will probably quiet down a bit now that I'm starting the nursing program.  Our schedules are pretty tight and there won't be a whole lot of time for family fun worth blogging about.  I will try not to go more than two weeks without posting something, but I can't make any promises.  It won't be a true hiatus, but the posts will be few and far between.

You will likely see even more of a reduction in my facebook activity as well (that has been depleting over this past year simply because I cannot stand the "new" format after it changed last September).   I am going to be super super busy for the next 11 weeks.  You can read a little more about that HERE.  I am scared, and anxious, and excited all at once.  I ask for prayer for our family over these next two years as I am going through the nursing program.  It's going to be challenging; but hopefully worth it at the end of it all!

Kids are loving school.  Homework has started to pick up and they are thriving in being in a routine again. Piano lessons are going great.  Peter is doing very well in his dispatcher training.  Fall is upon us and Portland is about to change colors (well, some of it) and I can't wait.  I will definitely post some photos of that.

So I leave you with some photos from the "Last Hurrah".  An impromptu day trip to the Coast.  :)

We went to Oswald West Park--Short Sands Beach (Smuggler's Cove)
