It's been awhile.  I had to post SOMETHING so that we no longer had to hear about Mormons being Christians.  Because I'm so OVER that now.  But we are…just to be clear.  🙂

And well, October was a HUGE month around here.  Two travel destinations (for me anyway) and a birthday (also for me) and Halloween (which was for the kids, but also ME).  And my sweet husband got me a new camera to replace my old one that broke (because Mer without a camera is an unhappy Mer), so I have lots of new-camera pics to share. 

AND…I pulled my 6th grader out of middle school today (like, signed the paper and everything) and he is a "bonafide" (that's the magic law word used in the state of TX) homeschooler.  It's only the first day – but we're oh so happy and peaceful about it.  Of course, it took months and years to get that way, but it was worth it.  It's the right thing for now.
