Our Little Corner: Being Silly

Our 11th Year!

Can you believe we are beginning our 11th year of homeschooling? W-O-W! We started out taking one day at a time leaning on the Lord's leading. What an amazing adventure it has been! This year we have a 10th grader, 7th grader, 4th grader, 1st grader & one in preschool. Yes, a challenge and adventure all rolled into one!

We have started our regular fall activities again. Our family group, aka co-op, has begun. It is a smaller group this year. I am enjoying the intimacy & easy going nature of it. The kids are always counting the days until our next meeting. AWANA has kicked off & memorizing verses is in full swing. Games, activities & store night too! TaeKwonDo is awesome as always. The kids are rising to the challenges set by Mr. Stevens & their own personal goals. Soccer is back too! We have 3 playing & I'm eager to see them in action. So many things to look forward to & enjoy!

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.
