Praying for you and your son. I hope he feels better soon. Suzanne

Praying for you and your mom. Suzanne

I'm so sorry. Suzanne

I'm so very sorry. It is so hard to see a beloved animal suffer. I will pray that the vet can help her. It is so hard to euthanize an animal even if you know it is the right thing to do. Suzanne

My daughter loves Prismacolor pencils. Her art teacher also recommends them. Suzanne

I'm sorry. My husband's aunt recently went through Chemo and radiation. It was hard on her too. I pray that it is not as hard on you this time. I also pray for your complete healing. Suzanne

We tried Mosdos when my daughter was in third or fourth grade. I thought it looked really good. On the other hand, my daughter HATED it. I ended up letting her drop it. She has always loved to read and does an excellent job with it. I don't usually change curriculum just because she doesn't like something, but I did for Mosdos. I didn't want her to lose her love of reading so we went another direction. Hopefully those of you who try it will have different results. Suzanne

Prayers for a complete and speedy recovery. Suzanne

I'm so sorry for what you are dealing with. I had an awful experience at a very small hospital when my mom was sick so I can understand how frustrating it can be. Prayers for a speedy recovery and excellent medical care for the future. Suzanne

I'm so sorry for what you and your baby went through. I am so glad he will be okay. Thank you for sharing your story. Hopefully, it will help someone. Suzanne

I love dogs and I can't imagine not having one. If I were you, I would agree to get a dog for the family. However, I would wait until your children are a little older. We lost my beloved Standard Poodle when my youngest was two. I was overcome with grief so we bought a puppy. It was so hard dealing with a toddler and a puppy. If you must get a dog now to make everyone happy, I would insist on a dog not a puppy. Also, I agree with the posters who mentioned not getting a Border Collie for your first dog. My brother and his wife breed them. They are great dogs, but they are too smart for their own good and super high energy. Before you agree to any dog, thoroughly research the breed to find one that will fit with your lifestyle. Suzanne

I finally have seventh grade all lined up. We will start on August 4th. I like to allow plenty of time for last minute interruptions. Here is what we are planning: Bible - Apologia - Who is My Neighbor and Why Does He Need Me? Literature: Kolbe Literature - we are using the section on short stories and reading 3 of the books. We also read a lot of extra books. Grammar - Analytical Grammar Spelling/Vocabulary - A Beka and Vocabulary Cartoons Writing - Cover Story and Essentials in Writing History: Mystery of History III with related literature Civics - Uncle Sam and Me Math - Saxon 1/2, Supplement with some of the "Key to ..." series Science - Finish BJU Life Science; Start BJU Earth Science Latin - Second Form Latin Geography - Memoria Press with some added cultural reading Logic - Mind Benders and Think a Grams Art - Outside Class and Atelier Physical Education - Competitive Dance I don't think we will add in any music this year. We have completed a lot of music studies the past few years. Suzanne

I'm so glad your dog is back home!!! Suzanne

I'm glad you finally know what he is facing. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Suzanne

Continuing to pray for you, your son and your family. I hope you have some answers soon and it is easily treatable. Suzanne

I just saw this today. Praying for you and your son. Suzanne

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am also sorry you are dealing with so much family drama. Suzanne

He is beautiful! My best friend growing up had a Siamese. She was a great cat. Suzanne

I had a bad wreck last summer. I knew I could never feel comfortable in the car again. The decision to total the car was borderline. My husband called and talked to the insurance company. Since it was so close, they went ahead and made the decision to total the car. Good luck with your car. Suzanne

Happy Anniversary! I didn't see this post earlier, but I'm glad the floor job turned out okay. Suzanne

I'm so sorry. I will hope and pray it is just an infection. It is so hard to lose them. Suzanne

I'm so sorry! I hope you find him soon. Our dogs feel like family members so I can imagine how you feel. I would feel devastated if mine went missing too. Hugs and prayers for a happy homecoming, Suzanne

We did La Clase Divertida Levels 1 and 2 when my daughter was younger. She liked it and so did I. I would not recommend it for a middle school student. All kids are different but, I don't think my upcoming seventh grader would relate well to it now. I don't have any suggestions for a solid middle school program. We haven't done any Spanish the past few years. Suzanne

That's awesome. I'm so happy to hear she is going to be okay! I was getting worried when I didn't see an update this morning. We have had our share of doggie emergencies and they are not fun! Suzanne

Hi - I was thinking about you and your sister's little dog this morning. I hope you and the dog are both okay. Suzanne
