The homestudy background checks will take a long time since Greg is TDY and we've lived in 11 different states.  Each state has there own process and fees associated with a background check.  Most of mine are done and submitted. 
Poland has received our request for Olek, so we are waiting to hear if we are approved. 
We have tried a pumpkin roll fundraiser, but only sold 1.  I've opened my home to a children's craft time and have yet to have anyone reply.  Once January comes, I will open my home to classes in music, religion and history.  Hopefully that will go well. 
I'm working on my Polish and almost done with Pimsleur's short course.
