wow...where to begin. Alot can happen in a month!
To sum it up...
We are still in North Carolina
I am no longer Homeschooling Abbi, she got in to Greensboro Academy about three weeks into school
Eric is still in Kentucky and will be until December
Kati is in preschool with Mrs. Gwen
We did not get to go back to KY to visit
The pumpkin is still doing good, although it does not have a stem...little accident

So, that's about it:)
Just Kidding.
Yes, we are no longer homeschooling and I am torn about that decision. I know that we made the right choice. Abbi got into a WONDERFUL school here in GSO and I could not be happier that the next 9 years of school will be in such a wonderful establishment. Also, this means that Kati will be able to go as well. Another big Plus! I do miss homeschooling, though. I miss the special time that we spent together, but I also love picking her up from school and seeing how excited she is that I am there waiting on her. It really is a good feeling:).
Abbi is doing well in school. She has had to learn to slow down a bit and take her time in order to do her best, but she is catching on quickly and seems to have adjusted well. She has been so well behaved for me since she started and I can tell that she loves that I am proud of her. We have had VERY little discipline since the start of school, which is GREAT!!! I am very proud of her.
Kati is doing wonderful in preschool. She really lays it on thick for Mrs. Gwen and Mrs. Lynn. They say everyday when I pick her up what a sweetheart she is...boy does she have them fooled! Just kidding, Kati really is a super sweet child and very easy to handle, when she is away from her sister. Actually, they are both that way:). But, she is enjoying herself and always has stories to tell about her friends. So cute. Picking her up is a joy, she comes running to me with her little arms wide open for a hug! Her HUGE backpack about makes her topple over, but that just adds to the sweetness of it all.
I am so blessed!
I stay busier now that they are in school than I did when they weren't! I run from 7:20 in the morning until about 2:10 in the afternoon...it is insane! I also spend a fortune in gas waiting in the carpool line at GSO Academy...man, it is a bear to get in and out of that place! Is it worth it? Yes, it really is.

Eric is doing good. He is almost through with his first batch of basic trainees! They graduate next Friday (10/3) and he can't wait. He enjoys being a drill sergeant, but if circumstances were different, he would be happier about it. I won't elaborate, but there are some issues that really have put a sour taste in his mouth and besides the fact that we won't be there, they have made him pretty bitter about the whole thing. With that being said, though, he's great at what he does and I could not be more proud of him!
He will be at Knox until December, but after the 3rd, he will be randomly helping other drill sergeants (or so he has heard). It shouldn't be as stressful and he wont be the one in charge. Also, he will more than likely get more sleep! That is always good!

We will be back together as a whole family for the first time since July 28th, on Sat. the 4th!!! He has a 4 day pass after graduation and we were able to get him a ticket home, YEAH! The girls DO NOT know. I am planning on surprising them at the airport. I cannot wait, they will be overjoyed! Plus, I cannot wait to see him again. Oh, I miss him, terrible miss him!
That's about all for now. I will write more when I can!
