First off I have to say that any mother who is sick of her day to day life needs to go to school. Not for the mental enrichment it brings, although it does that too, but because as soon as your classes are over and you are free to be solely a Mom again, it is heaven! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I'm exercising, reading the news, cooking and spending much more time with my kids, which I love. I'm happy and free, at least until the end of August!
I need to clarify though that I don't at all regret going back to school. Yes it is tough, and I am so happy for the break, but I am learning a lot more about myself through the process and hopefully becoming a better person, mother and wife. That being said, I can't wait to be completely done! I am a firm believer that you reap what you sow, and I think this experience is a good example. I am working hard, and I feel like I am growing. I love that.
I got to have my visiting teachers (women from my church) over this morning and I had a really good time. The message they gave was about how to create an environment of learning in your home so that you and your kids will benefit. After that I talked with a great friend and we discussed how this life is meant as a place for us to learn and grow. There will always be something to learn. It never ends. There was a day when that statement would have over-whelmed me, but today it makes me feel energized. I can't wait to see what I learn next. Who was it that said that knowledge is power? Maybe I should look it up. :)
Okay, enough for now. Here are some pictures I took yesterday. I love learning new photography skills too. :) Have a great day everyone!

I'm very glad I got done with school before Peter came. You've really impressed me by doing school with all your kids.
Wow, these are all really wonderful pictures! The roses are beautiful, the bubbles are awesome, and little Ellie (as always) is adorable as can be.
I know the feeling! It helps you really realize what's important. Now I cherish being a mommy so much that I can't make myself go back to school :/
I love the pictures of Ellie with the fluffy. She is so pretty. Glad your school is over for the summer!!!
Yeah for classes being over!! That means we have more time to hang out right? Speaking of which, we need to hang out. I'll give you a call soon.
