Slacking

Boy, I've really slacked off on my blogging. I apologize. Stress & depression hit hard after Christmas. Now that spring is FINALLY here my spirits are lifting. God is good! I hope to get blogging again. It is fun to share our lives with our long distance family, friends & to make new friends too. How many of you are enjoying this wonderful spring and summer-like weather?

Ready for Spring!

We had an absolutely beautiful weekend & gorgeous Monday. Today started off gloomy but the sunshine has returned and I am rejoicing! I have had the itch for spring for at least a month now. Do I dare say out loud that it looks like it's on it's way?

As I revel in this glorious weather I will be adding spring changes to my blog as well. The feeling is contagious! As silly as it may sound I now want to see spring everywhere! Lol!

Spring Fever

I've been checking almost daily and our local Walmart now has their 10-cent seeds in stock! When the cashier saw all my seed packs he questioned, "Farm or large garden"? LOL! Boo went with me and we bought several regular favorites as well as some to experiment with. I can hardly wait until it's time to plant outside! In the meantime we're going to start some seeds inside. My generous neighbor is giving me some plastic flower pots to use. Yahoo! The kids are chomping at the bit to start their individual gardens. They are awaiting the seeds they get every year in their Easter baskets. It's a tradition they love!

**The picture above is of most of our seeds. Not all of them though! There are still several packs waiting in the wings! Lol!

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.
