Friday Fill-In

1. When I look to the left, I see Dave's dresser loaded with junk, my window where I can see the mailman pulling up & boxes that still need to be unpacked.

2. Right now my bedroom is the room that has the best view in my home. The window to the right looks right into the neighbors back yard where they have this glorious tree in bloom.

3. Let it work that I deliver on time with no complications for Baby or I.

4. Nothing these days is done dirt cheap!

5. Loving as Jesus loves us is a responsibility that all qualified citizens must share.

6. If you have any desire to clean or unpack feel free to drop by & dig in! I promise to pay with chocolate!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to my homeschool meeting & talking with Karen, tomorrow my plans include celebrating Missie's 13th birthday and Sunday, I want to sleep, sleep & sleep some more!

First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEENAGER!!!!!!

Also, the diaper cake is so cute! What a savings there! I just love love love the baby's room color!!!!!! The clothes are to cute, just making me want another little one even more!! At least I get to live through your blog! LOL

I am so glad that you and baby are doing better. Silly little things how they "act up" during u/s and things. We tease R because she was stubborn even while inutero-like she is now. She tends to hold out on things until the VERY last minute and then do what we have asked, just like how she was breech all along and when we went in for delivery she had turned the night before I was induced-stuburn little girl! Keep up the good work, it is almost time to see your little one!!!!; Saturday, March 14, 2009

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.
