Welcoming the 1st day of school

The girls were so eagered to start school this year!! The alarm clock was set. The clothes were laid out. And prayers were said. As morning approached, Hudson was all bushy-eyed! As the day proceeded, the catastrophes increased. First, I found Hudson with a box of Kleenex all strewed in his crib. Next, he falls and cuts his lip. Finally, he dropped a drawer on his toe. We are hopeful tomorrow will bring us joy!

Homeschooling year #7


It is hard to believe we have been homeschooling for 7 years.  The bible says the number 7 represents perfection or completion.  We definitely do not have this perfected.  Every year has its challenges.  Every year we learn from our shortcomings.  Every year we depend on God for strength and motivation.  But, every year I am in AWE to see how God has molded each one of the girls.

To get ready for this school year, the girls had free haircuts at JCP.  They really wanted to go short.  They were going for the Kit Kittridge look.


To say that I have a 2nd grader, a 4th grader, and a 6th grader gives me great joy that I have a privildge and obligation to teach these girls not only their ABC's and their 123's.....but most importantly teaching them how keep their eyes on Jesus! O, taste and see that the LORD is good!! Psalm 34:8.
