Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Snow has been falling all day & now most of the evening. All the grass in our yard is covered! That may make some of my Northern friends chuckle but it is a big deal down here! I couldn't resist going out in it today. Even though Elvis, Boo Bear & Princess are still sick they couldn't resist it either. Most likely it will be the only snowfall we get this winter & how can you pass that up? Poor Bugsy wanted to, bless his heart, but his head hurt terribly. My hope is that he can make it out for a bit tomorrow.

She ran right over to her swing wanting Daddy to clip her in & push her.

I asked her to pose for me & she obliged. You can see in her eyes she is not feeling 100%. She came out for about 15 minutes. Normally she would have been out here for hours!

Next was the slide. Wheeeeeeee!

Plop!

Boo took one slide down.

Mostly she sat & watched with a smile on her tired, sweet face.

She couldn't say no when Princess called for her.

Off for more adventure!

She had so much fun! This was her first time playing in the snow. Last year at this time she wasn't walking yet. She cried when Daddy brought her inside. She didn't want to stop playing!

Bugsy perked up a little. He's happily showing off his Gatorade. A treat!

Poor Boo Bear got sick about an hour after we came inside. =( Princess was worn out & fell asleep. I'm praying my babies get better soon. At least they had some fun in the snow while it is here.

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.
