School, summer break, vacation, books and everything but the kitchen sink

Over the past few months, I decided to put blogging to the side.  No particular reason.

Just wanted to take a break.

Just wanted to push away from the computer.

Just wanted to regroup.

Just wanted to enjoy being free from schedules and time constraints.

and that I did!

My Spring quarter finished out mid-June, which happened to be in the very same week our church was hosting Vacation Bible X-treme... at which I was a teacher's helper.  

The kids and I have enjoyed hanging out at some friend's community pool.

We enjoyed a vacation.

I read some books at which I need to seriously update.

And alas... here I am.  Lots to prepare for next week.  I'm game.
