Walking the Trail

On Tuesday in the late afternoon we went for a walk on the trail. What a beautiful path. There were lots of trees for shade & our kids enjoyed riding their scooters. Plus we saw some wildlife! We're looking forward to going back again soon.

Mixing it Up a Bit

Loving the Fresh Air!

The children found this little hill & a trail. They looked at it as an adventure.

King of the World!!!!!!!!!

Look What We Saw!

Isn't he amazing? We saw him fly too!

Walking With Mommy

Curly got a great view from way up there! Lol! As you can see Uncle Dave was having fun too.

We also saw a few turtles. They are quite graceful when they swim.

Pretty, Aren't They?

Curly liked these the best as her favorite color is purple.

E-boy loved spending time with Aunt Jenny & Curly Fry.

After a yummy dinner of pizza we had a relaxing evening hanging out together.

Aunt Jenny & Dimples

Bright light gives Jenny a migraine so I didn't use the flash. Dimples is wearing the outfit we gave her. Made my day!

Hanging Out With Cupcake

Cupcake & I had fun putting some puzzles together. She is a smart little girl!

Snuggle Time

Daddy & E-boy cuddled up with a book.

Imagination

Don't you love E's outfit? Lol! He has quite the imagination & we love it.

Puzzle Mania

Bugs loved the puzzles too. I need to do this with him more often. I keep forgetting he's a big boy now.

Our Baby & Theirs

Bugs was fascinated with Dimples.

It was nice relaxing & simply being together.

SUMMERTIME 2012

2012

It was a year full of learning not only educational-wise but life lessons too. We have come to treasure those we love more than ever. Family time is to be savored and memories to be created and viewed as priceless. And our Lord is to be praised, trusted & loved.

We are enjoying our summer. It is full to overflowing with VBS volunteering & attending, Taekwondo, park playdates, gardening, Staycation, camp, birthday parties, visits from loved ones, adventures & day trips, friends, outdoor fun, swimming, summer treats, church & lots of trips to the library. It is wonderful to have some time to renew & relax.

OUR 12th YEAR

It is hard to believe we are in our 12th year of homeschooling. Where does the time go? It seems as if I should feel like an expert by now. But that's not the case. I learn more every year & always look forward to the opportunity to grow.

This year we have made some big changes. At first I was a little cautious wondering how we would handle this. But God has been amazingly gracious. We have made many new & wonderful friends. Even with cutting back our schedule is full to overflowing with fantastic & fun opportunities & experiences.

I look forward to seeing what more God has in store for us this year and sharing it with you, our friends & family.

Summer, Here We Come!

We are winding down our school year. We've finished our co-op studies & had our last classes of the year. AWANA is almost over as well as TKD. The spring soccer season is in full swing. Soon summer will be here. Swimming, park days, field trips, VBS, popsicles, gardening, bike rides & fun with friends are things we are all looking forward to. We will be doing some fun studies over the summer as well. Some we have already begun!
As always our days are full to the brim. Many like to comment that Dave & I have our hands full. I agree. Our hands & lives are full of fun, laughter, learning & growing. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

A New School Year

School has begun! It isn't officially fall here yet but our fall activities have started. We are now back in AWANA, Wednesday night groups, Sunday school, soccer, homeschool & 2 family learning co-ops. This week we have added Taekwando to our schedule. Yes, we are busy! On top it all off I am co-leading our large, church homeschool support group. We kicked off the new school year with a picnic. It was an amazing time & lots of fun was had though the weather tried it's best to ruin it. God prevailed!

This year we have a 9th grader (How did we get to high school already?), a 6th grader, a 3rd grader and one in Kindergarten. And don't forget our little toddler!!!! As many like to comment yes, we have our hands full. Our hands are full of blessings, of life and of love. Some days bring more challenges & tough times but through it all we grow stronger & closer.

Announcement *

She is here! Safe & sound & BEAUTIFUL! We are all wrapped around her little fingers. Our little princess arrived on
April 6 at 8:06a.m. by C-section. She surprised us all by weighing only 7lbs. 9oz. We had expected her to be at least 9lbs. based on the ultrasounds. She is also 19.5 inches long. A little peanut!
As you can see from some of her hospital photos she is already learning to accessorize. Lol. The nursery nurses at the hospital stuck a pink bow in her hair. I love it!
I will not be publishing her real name on my blog due to safety reasons, (just like I have done for my older children), but if you'd like to know feel free to email me privately and I'd be happy to share.
