Do you really have popcorn at 10 am?? LOL
It looks like you are going to be very busy!! We'll be praying for you.
I love the picture of you all studying. Can I borrow that recipe book, Kristi?! It was so wonderful to talk with you the other day. I am so glad that you are my "Verizon Buddy"!
I am praying for you too, as you adjust to homeschooling and being in a new place.

Love ya all!
