Just a list


  • We're pretty much back into the swing of things here.  Homeschool is going well...though the newness has worn off and I have to spend much more time trying to motivate little people who seem to have lost some interest.  Ah, yes, this is the reality of homeschooling!  Somehow, though, I still really enjoy it. Maybe because I know this is our only option?!  Might as well enjoy it, right?
  • We've been doing more history again and it's been fun.  Brooklyn really enjoys learning about this stuff, and so do I.  We stopped for a while, when it felt like we needed a break, but we honestly missed it. This week, we're going to study Vikings!  
  • It rained most of the night and into the morning.  What a lovely way to wake up.  I love the rain.  I'm not one who gets depressed by it.  Instead, I get excited and grab some coffee and a good book and light a candle.  I love snowstorms too.  Sunny days are nice...but I love cozy days inside more than anything.
  • Sean is battling a cold.  Poor fella. 
  • My ear infection is clearing up!  It's so nice to hear out of my left ear again.  
  • 11 days!

Still thankful for...
51. sharing funny little inside jokes with Sean that nobody else would find funny,even if they understood them which they probably wouldn't.
52. my oldest loves making cards and gifts for her sisters.  It is so sweet and I don't ever want it to end. 
53. slow, quiet, rainy mornings.  Even if it means we get a super-late start to our daily routines.

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

Image
  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
