Meet The Family!

I'd like to introduce you now to my family :) Since they will be filling up so much of this blog, in one way or another, I thought it would be a good thing to know who everyone is.....


                                     First of all, THE husband!


 
 
I know this is a not-so-close picture, but it gives so much insider information to what he is all about! Meet Nick - husband of 10+ years, as of the start of this blog, and dedicated airmen in the USANG :)
 
 
 Next in line is our firstborn, who I will affectionately call Little Mama - which is a wonderful description of her! Born just shy of two years after we were married, she is a joy to us and is *mostly* all girl!
 
A year after Little Mama came Little Hoss - a surprise, since we just *thought* we would be planning the timing of our children! BUT God proved us wrong, and I am so thankful. He is one of the sweetest little guys you will ever meet, who adores his Daddy and, without fail, makes sure I never leave the house without a kiss or a hug!

 
Next came our little ball of fire! Miss Priss joined our family two years later, and can be the most stubborn, determined girl you will meet, and yet one of the most caring, servant-oriented of the crew. She *cough* is reported to have taken after her mother, but that is yet to be totally proven!

 
Next we get to our little Bug, who was surprise number two in the line-up, but such a great one! This little treasure has the best laugh, and is a general good spirit. She would probably have a few more similarities to my oldest, had she been born before Miss Priss - but she wasn't, and God knew what he was doing!

 
Last, but definitely not least, we get to Buddy Boy. At this point, I have to say he may forever be the baby of the family. He is 100% boy, with boundless energy, and the best hugs a mommy could ever ask for! His smile lights up the room, and he'll work his way in to your heart faster than you can blink an eye!
 


And there they are - my wonderful, vastly different family! I look forward to sharing more about our daily routine, our school and the many directions it has taken us from start to where we are now, and many more things! At the moment, I am working with older pictures, as my last camera met an unfortunate end with a sticky little boy and a tray full of cereal-flavored milk.... But I hope to get a new one soon and can't wait to add to this blog, and figure out how to personalize it even more - so that I can start to share with old friends, and maybe some new ones!

Good Bye for now!

To Succeed One Must Never Give Up

Even if that means, the best you can is to blog a few times a year, and always tell yourself you'll pick it back up full time....eventually. Richard Bach said: "A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit" My friends, I claim that for my outSTANDing blogging skills ;) (as I type this, I realize I'm searching for the emoji buttons that surely should be somewhere by now hahaha!) We didn't quit. I mean, I obviously haven't been around this blog in what feels like eons. We are still here, though, alive and kicking!  KLW is going in to the 10th grade this year. When did someone come in my house and allow that to happen? Whoever did is going to get a tongue lashing from me, because this teenager is just a few years from adulthood, and I don't know how I feel about it, to be honest with you.  She's gorgeous.... Kind of quirky.... Has some killer selfie skills She's tall.... really REALLY t

Reader's Review - Llama Llama, Red Pajama

Image
LLama Llama, Red Pajama written and illustrated by  Anna Dewdney         You have GOT to love the Llama Llama books by Anna Dewdney! Using a llama as a subject, these books give you a different point of view - one of not the adult, but the child. In this particular Llama Llama book, it is a dreaded time of day - bed time! I don't know about you, but I can completely relate with some of my children. Llama Llama goes to bed, but there is a problem - little llama just can't settle down.     Full of bed time woes, the next couple of pictures show the climax of the distress this little llama is going through. What I find interesting here, in looking at this book a little deeper than just as a funny read for a child, is the emotion behind just such a feeling. A touch of seriousness - what if the thoughts our children are having at bed time are far more serious than we think? What may sound absurd to us - being afraid that we ar

Homeschool tidbits

                               "This isn't so bad." - SW It wouldn't seem like such a big deal to hear that, except this is SW. She balks at everything new, and most things she's done before that were new. I know that sounds crazy, but if you just knew this girl. So this week, we've been working on the relationship between multiplication and division, and how you can use one to remember the other.  We had talked about this a little before our extended winter break, but since it had been a while, she may have had a slight breakdown when I reintroduced it. Thankfully, it was short lived! We are working through reviewing multiplication facts and discovering the art of division :) And honestly, she may be one of my most hard to teach at this point in life because of her tendency to be afraid of something new, despite the fact that she is ridiculously smart and almost always catches on immediately (even if she pretends she doesn't 'get it'
