anyway, we're awful busy. No surprise there, i'm sure.

Kids are all doing good, studying weather, electricity, the civil war, and Josh is finishing his coop classes of algebra and physical science. He'll be working on geometry and biology over the summer so he can do algebra II and chemistry in the fall. Obviously everyone is reading tons.
